Wrecked / Totaled 2020+ GT500 Thread

How much do you think it would cost to get this completely fixed?

20 grand easy using insurance company pricing. You might be able to get that down to 15k if you source your own parts and have non-insurance chassis/body shop do the work.

That assumes you can actually bolt in a completely new engine cradle and all the stuff forward of the firewall. But I think big chunks of the chassis are welded and doubtful the section on the passenger side is actually straight.

I foresee this being stripped and sold for scrap.

I would guess around $30,000

I think it is nearly impossible that more damage wasn't done beneath the surface. That was a lot of weight on those cars. I tend to agree with Matt, it gets parted out and scrapped.

WAY COOL photos, Ron! I wonder if someone brought a drone to the scene or perhaps that's a shot from the crane boom they brought to lift the whole mess.

My apologies Ron for not having this thought earlier but did you get that image from a local engine company? :-)

I also came across this once beautiful F150 Super Snake Sport Truck. Said to have been rear ended by a Bus.

Paying a body shop to do it? That would be a lot of coin.

You would have to see the car. The pictures don't give enough detail to see how bad it is. Wow, 335 miles. I can say this car has it in it to do this to an unsuspecting driver.

I wonder what it's doing at Shelby American? Wonder who's it is?

wouldn't be fairly easy 'fix' to put the wide-body kit on it? Those panels would have to come off anyway.

Ya my guess is wide body conversion. The rest of the car doesn't look that bad.

I can confirm it is awaiting a SE Wide-body Upgrade.

Wow, what a shame. Painted on stripes and a very recent build. Ill take the wing and remaining 3 wheels please......

Edit to add:

The engine and DCT are probably fine

 

[kilobravo]

Anyone's guess as to what happened and not only does it give me the willey's as to what someone else could do to the car in an instant as well as makes me sick to my stomach, Keller. I know we all feel for the poor owner, I just hope it wasn't his/her mistake.

I always thought these cars came with aluminum hoods. Never realized they're fiberglass.

The 2019 and earlier GT350 (not sure about 2020) have aluminum front fenders and hood. The GT500 has plastic parts.
