Its Gone!!! hit by a DUI

[CLTBurban]

Is the burb still complete, and how much are you asking for it at the moment? I have an almost identical '72 (but 3/4 and barn doors). I'd be interested in buying it.

Thanks,
Scott

You might consider sending Jeff a pm as he may not be keeping tabs on this thread any longer.

sorry, I have not been following the thread, trying to forget it. I have found a nice 72 C-20 long bed same color as the burd, has A/C tooo. it is at a Real Estate agency, I am waiting for the right time to ask(no money).

The guy has made 1 payment (in March) and has skipped town the Probation Officer said. so maybe(doubt it) on day things will go my way. Now just drooling


thanks!!!!

never did trust insurance companies like you said they prommise a lot and dont deliver , make sure those promises are in writing and sighned and if its worth it have the item insured validated yearly by a licenced validator
the only insurance i have is basic car insurance to pay for damage i make to the other party and a insurance for when i need a lawyer in a civil case to get my money if it isnt my fault , there are ways to have that done by youre insurance but there not trying real hard if sumting like this happens :
friend of mine had someone drive intoo his brand new beamer , it turned out the guilty party responsible was insured by the same company he was , it made for some verry interesting wiggling from told insurancecompany to get from under the claim and a raise in the premium on the insurance of the NON guilty party , a non biased lawyer wouldve been verry helpfull in that

get some company to collect that cash or have them sell his home/stuff/car/bike off (preferably the car and bike so he cant hit anything else while intoxicated ) untill he payed the bill , there a couple around that do that for a fee on a no cure no pay basis you have the court disicion so youre in youre right to do so , its allso possible to block his bankaccount if he's not doing as he's told , it only becomes problematic if he doesnt have an income

if the town can't get it's rear in gear, talk to your congressman!

there are a lot of car friendly people in the political world.

and SEMA is very involved in every state, too!

just because these are old vehicles with low blue book value does not give insurance companies the right to screw you over. they are rare and collectible and that @$$ wrecked one of the cleanest examples around.

do not give up, and don't junk your burb....it must have a lot of good parts on it, or maybe you could find a donor that is descent enough to make patch panels out of. much of the lower sheet metal is available aftermarket including burb tail light area patches.

if this had happened to me, i'd be in everybody's face until my truck was good as new. this wasn't an accidental fender bender out on the road, this guy seriously messed up and he needs to pay. i


think the next 10 years.....12 hours work plus 6 hours community service on top of that, seven days a week...yeah, that's a good start!!!


oh...maybe restoring your truck could be a future feature on Trucks (Powerblock).....they are taking project ideas from the audience......enter online.....just an idea.....

wow, that's sad... civil lawsuit anyone?

Looks like a nice original. Good luck.
