Sure. Of course it all depends on the skill/effort TO fix. Was it Champion's GT2 Evo (?) that got absolutely rolled into a ball at either Daytona or Sebring in the late '90s, only to live on now as a perfect vintage racer?

Well, I think the photograph above says it all! It's a sad reality but this certainly helps keep the value of our cars.

It's just a flesh wound!
That should come straight out in the wash.

We've had a couple of Turquoise for sale here recently. It may have been a more popular colour here.

Hey Ken

If it's the one I remember it was at Sebring... into the cross-over bridge after the 3/4/5 complex. Huge hit.

on second thought..that would turn left wicked good. Somebody could turn that into a Turquise dirt track demon.

I provide the following diorama for inspiration.

I have seen worse hits that were eventualy marketed as "garaged and never driven in the rain".

That car can be repaired.

Interesting micro economic view of the market drivers of 993 pricing.

Don't kid yourself. That car might end up at a retailer near you. Title washed in Tenn, and a carfax that says it was in an accident which the owner will swear on the lives of his dearest that it was a bumper only repaint.
