i wouldn't risk bringing it to a junkyard to strip it.
unless your ins company is making you junk it.
can't you buy it back, have it towed to your house, strip it, then send it off to the junkyard?

I am buying it back, but can't have it in my driveway. I have already talked to the junkyard ... nothing to worry about there.

I have to say i've seen some VERY badly damaged contours with walk-away occupants.....damn safe cars IMO, saved two lives in my car already.
I'm very sorry to hear about this. I, as well as many others, know all to well what it's like to put a lot of time/money and heart into a car and ahve something like this happen. It seems lately out platform is almost cursed....
(car/engine projects)
Swazo...dead
SVT SNOB...dead
Fast cougar...dead
Instigator...dead
Almost makes me scared to re-build BLKOUT2 as well as building the race car this winter......
Fixed. That way people don't think they ACTUALLY died

Just got the phone with my insurance company ... fairly good news! Car valued: $6780.15 Deductable: - $250.00 Buy Back: - $206.51 Check to me: $6,312.82 AND I get the car (pull engine/trans/interior). So, let the vulchures swarm in ... who needs what that can be scrapped from the interior of the car?

Are you sure they didn't forget a 0 somewhere in that buyback? I got a quote of $4Kish for my car buyback when I rolled it. Granted it was just over a year old at that point, but still.

Wow you lucked out. Normally they look for the cheapest car like the one that is totalled and give you less than that. I'm sure they could find a SVT contour for less than 5k.
