I do a lot of AC work on the side. While the oil in the system could potentially flash, it would be only slightly more likely than being hit by a meteorite. The R12 or even R134 if they changed it over are not flammable.

A restoration on that would make mine look like a cakewalk...

According to Ed, State Farm stepped up and settled with him and he is very happy. Did not want to disclose settlement but understand he is now looking for a replacement. They paid him for the new headers and exhaust and tax and title fees as well. He said he prefers 93-95 red/black or black/black but will also consider 91 or 92.

I hate to hear of a brother loosing his Z. Glad to hear insurance stepped up, though.

Sucks to lose a car that way. Glad he was happy with the reimbursement though. Although it would be nice if someone resurrected the car, the truth is for every car that goes down more parts become available for rest to survive. Not to mention saving it would cost a lot of money and have to be done for the love of it, not for profit.
I actually wanted to bid on it. Would of taken some parts for myself and parted out the rest until it was gone (I need other parts besides the ECM). Unfortunately MD does not allow public bidding. So, either a dealer or salvage yard is going to get the car. Hopefully a Corvette salvage yard takes it and makes the remaining parts for sale.
Anybody here have a dealer or salvage yard license in MD?

I have a friend who has a small used car dealership on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and goes to all the auctions. He charges for his services $500 or 5% whichever is greater and goes to the auction, pays, does all the paperwork and gets you the title and you pay him by check. Manheim auctions changed policy last year and now you have to show a dealer ID to get into the auction where before you could get in as a "driver" for the dealer. My friend allowed me to get a dealer license on his company so I could still get into the auctions but I cannot buy as everything is on his company account.

Hi Charlie,
Anyway you could put me in touch with him? I have a price I would be willing to spend. If he gets his profit and I get the car for that price, it's a win-win.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up at Contemporary Corvette in Bristol PA. That's actually where I picked mine up at.
