One more thing. Davis mentions the $500 figure I mentioned earlier. That
figure is in reference to what a AMC Gremlin, Hornet, Pacer, Concord, Spirit
would bring in Houston auction, whether dealer or not. And 99% of the time...I
was the only person who even bid on them. Which your point is well take, the sum
of parts is many times sadly worth more than car whole in some cases. Tht 74
Hornet Sportabout I tried to sell, running, driving, stopping, for SIX years for
$550 I finally start stripping it. Sold the front, rear bumpers, rear bumper
guards, and tail lights and made what I was asking for whole car. The set of
front bumper guards are currently on ebay for $9.99. So yup, point well taken on
sum of parts!

I have looked it over as well and I don't think the damage goes to the
frame. A piller yes but not frame. I agree it would be alot to pay to have it
repaired not for someone wanting to resell it for a profit. More for the doit
yourselfer. But I would argue it has way more then 500.00 worth of parts
left on that car. How much for a good rust free hood, Fender, pass side door?
rear quarters? What is a really nice rear spoiler worth nowadays? How bout
really nice tail lights? I could go on. Interior parts?

Yes and no. Looks like someone dropped in a heck of a lot more than
high bid on it...BEFORE it was hit. However, looking at the photos from
a variety of angles this car has frame damage it appears, so someone
will spend $1/5K/CHEAP! ! to $4K/HIGH! to get that driver side front
put back together.
It is a lot more than door and fender....you will
have to adjust unibody
under there or car will eat up tires for rest of
days, and one will have to
line up new door on there, of which even when
repaired (been there done that
column) you will have tale-tell gap in
the door; whether front, top, bottom,
or even striker area. So I'll say
they will have about $3K into the
framework alone, not counting paint
after body/frame. And then depending on
whether they Maaco it or get a
good paint job afterwards, price would be
open checkbook. So yes,
someone paid a lot of money for it. I have passed on
AMC with "lesser
hits" in police storage and salvage lots here thru years;
this Gremlin
would have brought less than $500 at a Houston auction.
