: I have a 71 Ford Maverick it got rearended and the car is now totaled. The insurace company is offering me $500 for it and I need to know what the blue book value is on it because I dont think that is enough money for it. The car is a 71, it has a 250 I6 and all of the car except the right rear quarter panel and back valance is still good and it still runs. Could some one please help me?
: Thanks
The same thing happend to me last year about this time by a guy in a stolen car running from the cops. I have a 69 1/2 mav I6 200 and they valued it at $1,735. Of course they estimated damage at $4,000 the first time around and by the third time around (when they found it didn't have frame damage after all) it was down too $2,500. So make sure to get more than one estimate. They didn't tow it because it was still road worthy. They totalled it and i bought it back for $200. After I bought it back I had to get a brake and lamp inspect, which cost me $150. Then it had to be inspected by the CHP (another $25). And lastly i had to go to DMV and get new plates ($8.00). hope this helps.
