From the looks of things, there will be an ample supply of gently-used, rear-end salvage parts, but no so much front-end parts.

I wonder if the lift button being next to the traction control button is causing some less attentive people problems?

Yeah only had the car for a week before I got hit. Fortunately it was only minor damage and everyone was ok.

Ouch!

Did this to the front splitter when I went off the road.

Spun his peg around.

I assume he owned he was in your lane? Any excuses out of him?

I wonder what they will be asking for these Wrecks? An undamaged C8 Powertrain would be sweet to have.
Then you can figure out what to put it into.

Looks like big $$$ damage to the undercarriage. C8 with less than 1000 miles on it. Driver didn't remember hitting anything....

A red Z51. I'm kind of surprised they totaled it. None of the airbags went off.

That's why some people can't have nice things.

I believe this is track wrap - not actual damage

It appears to have been an off-road excursion, and you can't see any major damage underneath.

I think that might be the red one that fell off the lift. I think that one had custom wrap on the roof like this, and the damage by the side vent/door looks pretty similar.
