Yeah, It can probably be repaired, but then it's a repaired car. That's why it would effect value. Everyone would rather have it in the condition (& provenance) that it was in before the wreck. Yes, maybe the repairs can be done so they are not detectable, or atleast extremely hard to detect. But, they are still there. With the High dollar value of these cars, a seller would want to disclose any repairs so as not to be held accountable for any "surprises" down the line that a buyer might discover. A non-disclosure of this magnitude can be construed as fraud. Especially now that pictures are posted on the net for the whole world to see. How would you like to buy an all original pristine GT500KR & then some time down the road be shown the posted pictures of your car?! Yee-Haaa! I know I'd be hopping mad!! Anyway, I'm just saying the car is worth way more with just a repaint then with major surgery/reconstruction/restoration. But then again, I'm a nut. If it were mine, I'd cage it, bore & stroke the motor to the max, cut a huge whole in the hood for a 6-71 huffer to stick through & have the baddest GT500KR on the planet!
