SALVAGED TITLE ***** SALVAGED TITLE
I have a 71 mach1 351-4v car that was chased off the road by the mailman. Right side slid (slammed) into ditch bank almost parallel at approx 25-30mph. Looking at it you couldn’t tell anything was wrong. As they say… looks are deceiving. Here’s what I was told: Oil and trans pans leak. Frame bent. Problem with right door opening. Gas tank seeping. And more, just couldn’t write fast enough. Ok to drive around the block but not down the road. Here’s what I know: Surprisingly tracks straight but steering wheel is misaligned. Intermittent rubbing noise from rear. This was a driver car with some original and some repop.
Insurance estimated $28k to fix.
So, either a parts car or maybe someone with more mechanical skills than me (I have none) would want to fix?
I know I’m supposed to put a price up but I have no idea… I could use some help with that.
Thanks

John
