Not Ranked
Yeller. If I may be of some help. I ran a reapair facility for over thirty years. Extremely familiar with Insurance company's and especially a CR Cobras. Most of what has been said is true but a lot more indepth than what is listed. FIRST-by federal law you do NOT have to let the insurance company dictate who is going to repair your car! Second if it is is a total, you still have options. If they decide to total it and you still want it repaired (not uncommon at all) they will then come up with a total price-which is negotiable- then you can usually pay them back roughly 20% of the total price that both of you have agreed upon and they intern will give you the car back with a check for 20% less than what you agreed on.
A lot will depend on who the insurance company is and the type of coverage.
If I can be of any further help at all call me at (231) 896-4608. I'll be glad to walk you through the tangeled web.If you are reasonable with them they usually will be glad to write a check and make it go away. Especially with one of these custom cars.
Unless really smacked it is very unusual for a CR frame to get bent, usually resulting in basic body damage along with maybe some add on parts. It is not unusual at all to simply repair/replace a body and maybe some bracketry, even a wiring harness.
Hope this helps.
