Not sure if this is a hurricane related flood car but it is unfortunate.

'Water/Flood' damage. I wonder if that is a before pic. Water/flood damage wouldn't be too hard to overcome if the body is rust free.

I think this is the auction site some insurance companies use to sell cars. A friend of mine has a 71 mach 1 he has owned since new. A couple years ago a tree fell on the roof and the insurance company totaled it. When he asked how much he had to pay to buy it back they gave him some ungodly amount. What the insurance company did was post it on an auction site and took the highest bid as the buy back value. Who knows if the bidder was even serious. So my friend had to pay through the nose to buy back his own car. Fortunately the insurance company paid him a nice figure for the total loss.

Since then I have over valued my car for insurance purposes.

I saw this Mustang and plenty of other flood damaged cars for sale at vehbidz.com auction, I got my accident damage car at this auto auction and now I'm thinking about buying a flood damaged car there. need to estimate the sort of repairs a flooded vehicle will require before buying it because I want it to be cheap.

I believe flooding actually results in far more damages to newer cars with lots of eletronics/computer chips, etc than it does to our 71-73's. Ours cars are pretty simple,as long as their not under water to long, dry them out, change the fluids, wash them, then drive em away, a little more rust but what the hey. A new car gets flooded, everything fries and it'll probably never be the same, even after fried parts are replaced.That's why they're normally crushed after insurance payoffs...to insure they're not patched up and sold to some unknowing new buyer.
