85 Regal Coupe stolen & recovered
1st, glad to find this forum, good job! :lol:
We inherited my Mom's 85' basic Regal Coupe a few of years ago, just before she passed away. At the time, it had about 65,000 miles on it and the wife loved the car. I was going to have it painted for the wife's birthday in September.
Anyway, a week ago it was stolen from in front of our house (I hadn't gotten around to installing an alarm, my bad ). They found it 2 days later but it was partially stripped. They got:
I'm still waiting for my insurance agent to call with her offer. Problem will be getting them to NOT declare it as a total so I don't have to deal with the DMV paperwork of a salvage vehicle.
I've already started searching & buying parts to replace and figure that it'll be $1,500 - $2,000 to put it back together before paint.
Just needed to vent, thanks Steve

- Hood
right fender
complete front clip
jacked up the steering column which I'll have to replace
buggered the trunk deck lid
both tail lights
dash & radio bezels
alternator
the brand new red top optima battery
the freek'n air cleaner wingnut but didn't take the K & N filter, go figure! :?:
