Hey Merv, while you have his car jacked up taking parts off of it, I need two 17 inch wheels. J/K. I do need two 17 inch wheels for my drag tires if anyone wants to donate.

I said demod, not strip. I was able to pull all after market parts off car and put all stock parts back on car before the insurance company (adjuster) came to take pics and do whatever they do.

my insurance did not give me any additional money for upgrades (such as Z06 wheels) (BMR K member) witch stayed on the car. If you leave it on there you are giving it away.

If they total it, you can buy it back and then part it out.

If I didn't have my car I'd be really interested in your truck. It's a nice one . I've been truck shopping lately, just haven't decided to cross over yet.

I've been thinking about the same thing..I want a Tow Vehicle for my Camaro so I have something for what happened the last time we all went to Memphis.
I am going to look into seriously when I get the Camaro done and broken in.

Good luck with all that. Honestly, I would hope it was totaled. Just me. I would think it would never be the same.
Use that money and get something nicer. Not that there was anything wrong with it to begin with.
Also, any pictures?
