I see some trunk chrome, the bumpers, grill and a couple hub caps, the suspension, and some misc other pieces worth salvaging. Maybe the frame, if the car didn't burn too hot up front.

Bidding ended at 8600, not sold.

From those pics of the underside, it was a very nice looking car. Can't imagine what it feels like to see that happening!

No...once an insurance company totals-out a car, it is salvage at best.
When my bike got totaled, I tried to get a less-than-totaled payout and keep the bike. No go, and probably against the law was answer. I was offered the option to buy it back, but no title is included.
I expect that is what happened here.
Seller smoked car...insurance totaled it....seller got paid....seller bought it back...seller "ebays" it hoping to make a buck or two.
Make no mistake....this car will NEVER be paired up with it's original title again.

Well, I hope the buyer has lots of money, lots of determination, and will post on here to keep us informed on his progress. OR - will sell the decent parts on here to help others survive.

Bills2 - put this one in the bank - she owes you - you did it her way and DIDN'T get this one. So next time, she should be willing to bend a little!

You caught me I live in The Peoples Republic of Mass. Damn I think I need to move!
