Damn that sucks

[phragle]

I can't begin to fathom the dollar amount of damage and lost value. The pictures keep going and going. If there is a bright side to it, I don't think Gino had a car there.....

Wow, Did anything get spared? :(

I didn't see a single 72 Pinto in any of the picks, or a Vega with a V8 and blower sticking out of the hood....

[redhotsommer]

Wow. That was a lot of people's hard work that went to hell right there...

Some people need to work on their paint adheasion! That is hard to look at. Most can be fixed up ok but some of those were hard to look at.

[phragle]

A lot of those can be fixed.. but now you have a classic car that has been fixed. Would that not decrease the value?

[jayboat]

Major league sadness in that parking lot.

There is enough work there to keep the highend restoration shops busy for the next 10 years.A lot of window pillar damage. That blue Hemi Cuda at the end hurt.

The orange Boss mustang took a hard hit.....newer 350Z is ready for the boneyard.

Most of that stuff can be fixed without a lot of trouble (glass, dents, paint) but those A pillar and roof jobs are going to be a lot of work!

The insurance companies probably have already started the finger pointing! Tent manufacuturers, installers, Russo and Steele, the land owner.....they will all get dragged into it even though it was an act of god......

[tommymonza]

The problem i see with all the paint touchups is these cars are little above the blend and fade paint match that would be typically done on repairs.

As far as some of those "A" pillars are concerned,I'd be checking some salvage yards for doaner vehicles.

They say that the shows ins. is not responsible for the damage either and it will be on the owners of he cars. F'ed up.

That will go to court... The cares were entrusted to the auction and the auction stood to profit from the cars being there.

I feel the same way and one can only hope.
