I'm with American Collector . I'm watching to see how this turns out . I thought that the agreed upon $$$ figure you paid in coverage would be the amount you would be paid if vehicle was totaled without issues . I'm my opinion I think Slick is totaled and I hope you get the 40k .

I am watching how this comes out... I am with Hagerty right now But am not at all happy with the way the underwriter has Valued my truck... I am looking for another "Agreed Value" company that actually has some sense...

Low Elco · 12-08-2014, 01:53 PM

Dan, we're with Chrome... seems pretty good so far.

Hard Luck · 12-08-2014, 11:35 PM

I am with Chrome as well. That IS American National. Only issue I have with them is they keep raising rates $20-$30 a year to "cover their costs" according to my agent and that is with no policy changes or claims. My last insurance went down a bit every year with no claims.

Hope this works out for you, all my car together are not worth your $40k but I may call my agent and bug him anyway about this. I would think they would do what they can to keep collectors happy because it is a real gold mine for them. We pay in on cars and trucks that see a lot less road than any other and they have to be garaged so I would think the claims percentage is much lower.

Heck a $80k 2015 Vette would fall under standard insurance and much more chance of a gold chainer wrapping that around a pole.

Good Luck and I agree with getting the quotes on your own and submitting them. The rest is waiting.

I am currently waiting for a return call from the Director so I can raise cane about this too. Probably after the fiasco they have put me through I can get it back cheap.

Slick67 · 12-10-2014, 03:56 PM

LESSONS LEARNED!!!
If you are in the situation to buy back a vehicle, here is how it works. (At least in this case.)
The vehicle is put on the internet for auction and bids are placed. The insurance company takes the highest bid and calls the owner of said vehicle to see if they will match it.
No fancy calculation, no mathmatical equation, just simple auction.

Just Got The Call!!!!!

I bought it back for $3348!!!!!

67ChevyRedneck · 12-10-2014, 04:19 PM

So it went to auction already??? Congrats on buying it back so quick and cheap!

Hopefully they gave you the full totaled amount?

Yes! After talking with the Director (Head of the Insurance Claims Dept.) it went super fast!!!! They put it in auction and actually told me that they rushed it through (to keep my buyback low) and that was the top bid before they pulled it from the auction. I did get my full amount and reimbersables as well, such as tow fees and registration for a show in February. Glad that's over....

I wish I knew where to go for these auctions!!! If anyone has a line on this action let us know!!!!

Low Elco · 12-11-2014, 01:58 PM

Probably Copart. Glad you got the number you needed. Now, what's good and what's trash? You going Shorty this time? Most importantly, did the bicycle survive?

I think the cab can be pulled on a frame machine, it's just a little off. Front clip is trash, bed and tailgate are good. Engine turns over, bet she'll run. Trans is questionable right now. Everything else is good! Short bed next for sure, not sure of the year just yet but big back window swb!!!! And yes, the bike did fine!

I'll take some photos of the teardown tomorrow. Should be able to have disassembly done in a day.

knomadd · 12-12-2014, 01:15 AM

Glad you got it back so cheap if that much is still good. Good luck on the next one.

Looking forward to the new phase of your project. Please take plenty of pictures.....

Just read all of this... Wow what a Saga. I guess you'll be starting a new build thread?

butternut1972 · 12-12-2014, 10:09 PM

Man I'm sorry you had to go through this after all your hard work. glad your OK though. SLICK WILL RISE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey bud!! It's one of those unfortunate things. I'll find another truck and start playing again. Slick will live on in other trucks, but the cab might be a good starting point for me to use on another project!!

Slick67 · 12-15-2014, 10:58 AM

Teardown was sad, but on the other hand I was happy to see all the hard work again. The frame is really bent worse than I thought, it made getting the engine out fun!.

Holy COW!!! That ole truck took one heck of a hit! You're lucky you were in that old iron instead of one of these modern little plastic cars...you'd be tomato paste. Glad you didn't get hurt to badly!

Thanks Ed! Yes sir, it was a hard hit. My truck moved about 1 ft to the side, the whole rear of his car was off the ground about a foot. The cop said it looked like he hit a brick wall.

mcbassin · 12-15-2014, 12:44 PM

Nice progress on the tear down. It's a wonder you didn't get significant injuries. Your truck took a hell of a shot. Looking forward to re assembly pics.

Low Elco · 12-15-2014, 02:09 PM

Teardown looks good- You'll have to get us some advanced carnage pics. Good luck going forward!

Yep, it was a hard hit for sure. Slick won't be rebuilt tho. That just means a new build thread!!!

I am waiting to get the cab and bed off this weekend. I really want to see the bare frame so I can get some good pics.

67ChevyRedneck · 12-18-2014, 03:17 PM

I saw this truck for sale in the 67-72 section and had to do a double take!
