Slip that bushing back up into that insurances lap! 200 1991

I know that the 240's are becoming rare and there are some cherry cars out there for sale but no insurance company is going to buy that your car as it was a collectors car.

To some, it maybe getting that way and if they are, they are not parked on the street any longer.
They are trying play that your car is or was nothing more than a trash can sitting at the curb!

In the same tone you are trying to prove is that it is repairable. At one time your car was a major investment. The car was not scrap sitting on the street with current tags and fees paid for it to be driven! It is an asset, period!
Those cars you have listed, for those prices are in the same position ready for another driver to insure and drive with a small profit hopefully for maintenance of the years.
So is yours.
You can afford not to make that small profit they want but by no means should you take it the shorts for their idiot driver that they are providing liability coverage for! Their lucky you were not sitting in the car listening to the radio or bent over in the car getting out a package!

I do not know what 75, plus one stinking mile has to do with it. Unless, you live in Hawaii, which last I knew was also a state. It might be there happens to be the radius of the largest island in the chain and they have that loop hole for that state to screw customers there. It should not have anything to do with having your car repaired within a bid!
What if you lived in one corner of your state that touches three or four other states! Maybe, Like out in Utah! What if he lost control around those corners!

You live on the continent of which they sell 98% of their polices and blast our communication media with tiresome commercials. Plenty of money is put in to all that mess on a daily basis. Your car would be chump change in comparison!

I quit watching T.V. And, I put every envelope I get in the mail into a recycle bin, unopened!

This sounds as ridiculous as the state will go along with the insurance company offering you a scrap price as your cars limits, on getting that repair job done! No car ever gets repaired to be like it never happened. There is always a paper trail and that's why Car Fax is ran for insurance companies, so they can always reduce the value of any car!
That line that they have to repair a car to a like new condition is a cop out used with body shops to vary the bids!
Have you gotten any bids within 76 miles? What happens if you lived in Puerto Rico. I bet they sell insurance there too! Government Employee Insurance Company probably sells in territories too, as they have governments too!

Have you demanded to be place in front of an independent (not insurance company influenced) arbitration committee or person?

You need to get cracking on them by mention those big guns I and others have talked about!
Start mentioning a civil suit against their client! In my state, if you lose or have property stolen with value of over 500 dollars it's more than a misdemeanor crime! You list them both as partners!
You do have a police report don't you!?
