The Dart got hit!!!

-
Just caught this thread...

JR ... I hate to see that happened to your car boss man... you'll get it straightened back out!
 
Hell, if we get a bidding war going it may end up being someone else's problem LOL

Ok, $245.99 and Ross delivers it to my house. :)

I have a decent '72 Valiant front end that would confuse the hell out of anyone who saw it...kind of like that Barracuda I saw on craig's list with a dart front end.
 
mopars always get hit on the drivers side.....thats suck man
 
OK, so after reading all 4 pages to see if you got what you wanted there is absolutely no resolution. Then I realized this happened on the first of this month! 8-[

At least the later model Dart parts are the cheapest Mopar muscle car parts you can buy.

Curious to see how much you eventually get for this car.
 
My work is setting up another Vegas run for me sometime mid September so we can do the trade then. I will let you know as soon as the give me a set date.

Sounds good, just let me know when. I will be pulling off the front end this weekend.
 
The insurance guy just left and said that they will work with me to get the dart fixed, repainted (maybe the whole thing) and the bumper straightened and rechrommed! Looks like Frank Mitchell may be getting some of Allstate's money!

Badart, I still want your parts and will trade you the black interior parts. I just need to find out when my work is going to set up another run to Vegas. It may be a month or so but I will let you know.

Have em paint it hemi orange. LOL.
 
Just saw this, totally sucks, at least the insurance guys weren't assholes.

I have a mint 75 Dart hood and the nose bit if you want them, just taking up space so if you ever feel like crossing the pond to Victoria you can have them.
 
What a bummer... A little duct tape and spray paint and she should look as good as new! lol....J/K. Look on the upside,atleast it wasnt a total loss and noone was hurt. good luck to you and get that dart back to tip top!

Sounds good JR. The parts are pulled for you. Just let me know when you are coming through.
 
Update....


I talked to the insurance guy today and he said that so far he has come in at $2503.30 and thanks to 2 FABO members I will have more than enough parts to fix my Dart!!!! So it looks like Allstate will be cutting me a check (if I like their final estimate) and I will be taking the new front sheet metal and the car to the body shop that is about 1/4 mile from my house and have them unbolt the old, bolt on the new and repaint the whole car (stock color). Maybe order some new carpet and finally order the front seat cover as well.
They are also hooking me up with a rental car by Friday so I can bring my dad back his POS 1990 S10 that is pissing tranny fluid everywhere!

In the mean time I pulled the bumper out of the fender and pulled the fender away from the tire so I can drive the thing...

Look I'm a body man!!!:-D and yes that is one of the tranny fluid stains in my driveway from that POS truck.

Sorry about your car, at least nobody got hurt. We live in an era where everyone is in a hurry, nobody is paying attention to what they're doing and nothing in the world is more important than what they're doing right now. And they certainly don't care about your valuable collector car, that's what scares me about driving them, although it doesn't stop me. Well, at least you refrained from breaking the sixth commandment!!!
 

Hey now we aren't all like that! Sad thing is that I gotta worry about the people my age running into the rampage when I get it on the road, along with whatever a-body I start next year. Had to pic a semi-rare car as my "beater". lol now I worry about getting hit!
 
We went to go pick up my shirt for our wedding then we were headed to the venue to check some things out when some stupid *** girl in her daddies Subaru (it's all your fault Ross :-D:thebirdm: ) decided that she wanted to take a right turn from the center lane into the parking lot that her little boyfriend was standing in. So she took her turn right into the front of my car! That made me give her a pit maneuver with the driver side of my car then bounce off her with the passenger side of my car. No time to hit the horn or anything, I yelled "What the F**K as loud as I could, started calling her every name in the book (along with some new ones), I tried to open the driver side door and it only opened 1/2 an inch, I didn't want to force it and cause the dreaded door/fender fold in so I grabbed my camera crawled out the passenger side door(still yelling), her little boyfriend gets in my face telling me to shut my mouth, after about 4 mins of me looking down at him asking who the F he is and that he needs to walk away before he gets hurt Nikki shoved him out of the way, got in between us and reminded me that I'm not allowed to kill stupid people no matter how much I want to.
The dumb teenager gets out of her car saying that it was all her fault and that she has insurance. Nikki asked her if she had ever been in an accident before and the dumb teenage girl says "Yeah.....yeah............yeah" I talked to her daddy and he was pretty cool about it. He knew that his daughter was a stupid retard and told me "I think that she needs to learn a huge lesson from this!".
It drove down the freeway straight and didn't wonder so I'm hoping that it is all cosmetic damage maybe just needing a slight pull of the inner fenders. The passenger side front door has a small catch in it now but the rear door and trunk lid gaps seem fine.

So now I am getting some comparables together for when All State (her insurance) sends out their "adjuster" to try and tell me that my car is only worth $800.

Allstate!!!!??? The good empty hands people??? Good Luck!!!!!
Glad you 2 are alright but I would have rode out of there in an ambulance!!!
Do not hesitate, Call a Lawyer NOW!!!!
If you don't, go ahead and bend over please!
I fought my own insurance (Allstste) sense March this year to replace our broken windshield, daily driver dart full coverage comprehensive, uninsured, the works, $100.00 deductible and still did not want to buy a gasket and lock strip!! Please for the love of Dart, call your Lawyer!!! It'll be worth his 30% when he takes on all the worries and gets 2 times what you by yourself would get!!!!
Good Luck with the empty hands people and get you're ins. co. involved right away too.

Not a lawsuit happy idiot but sometimes thats what it takes to get a fair shake anymore!

Sorry late read...............
 
Believe it or not Allstate is not one of the worst insurance companies out there. I do auto appraisals for and against all the major and minor companies out there. When it comes to getting your money out of them Geico is by far one of the worst companies out there!

We have no reason to get a lawyer or even goto the doctor at all. All I want is a free rental car, enough money to fix my car and maybe have some left over to order some new carpet and a seat cover.

With Allstate I wouldn't try to take out the whole company just because the estimator or claim handler is a jackass. Sometimes it is the luck of the draw, the Allstate estimator that came out and looked at my car was cool as hell, talked about his old 68 merc that he had and how hare to was to track down parts for it when it got hit. I have met others that I wanted to punch in the face 2 seconds after I met them.
 
Ross has the fenders and header ready for paint. We are just trying to nail down a good weekend when we can take the car out to my dads place and paint it. Should happen with in the next 3-4 weeks. In the mean time I cleaned up the 8 1/4 that is on the workbench and painted it with Por-15 so it is almost ready to go in as soon as I get my hands on a drive shaft that is the right length.
I'm debating pulling the windshield so I can fix that damn leak before I install the new carpet.
I am also debating just putting on the new front end parts and waiting to paint the car until we buy a new house and I can set the garage up so I can paint a car in it. That way we can take our time and do it right. We are just waiting for them to vote and extend the $8000 first time home buyers credit then it is on!
