This is what is left of a friend's Cobra Jet Torino. He had just left a car wash, when a Mustang GT pulled out and broadsided him.

Needless to say, he's not happy.

Ouch. It looks fixable - although not at all inexpensively.

Did he have a total loss classic car policy?

In reply to Huckleberry:

Yeah, insurance will cover it. What's getting him is it was his dad's car.

Damn, will not buff out before anyone says it. I have no idea on Cobra Jet Torino value, but that's a lot of damage, It's gotta be worth a bunch if it's not going to be totaled.

It looks like it could be worth $25K and up.

The "Dad's Car" bit would be emphasized at the trial as "mitigating circumstances".

I am waiting for a lawsuit requiring FOMOCO to put a warning label on the Mustang's visor stating "Do not be a douche nozzle".

Are panels available for the Torino? If they are, I would just call that Russian BMW dude and have him over for a visit.

Sucks. But glad your friend is ok. Cars are just things. Even if it was your dad's thing first.

Have you set up a Go Fund Me account for the repair of the Torino?

If it had been me it would have been awfully tempting to give the Mustang guy an additional airbag injury to his face.

Sadly after repairs the Owner no longer loves them the same way, It's a Passion Thing.

Yes, any FoMoCo that is a real Cobra Jet is worth serious money these days.
