Salvage

I bought this beautiful Corvair from a nice elderly gentleman in Tucson AZ on June 16th. I drove it back to phoenix in 110 degree heat with not one problem. It drove great. The steering seemed as tight as it would have been from the factory. Move forward to June 22nd. I was sitting at a light with a car stopped behind me. When the light turned green, the motorcycle in front of me stalled, and I did not get started. The car behind be started to roll after seeing the green light, and ran into the back of me. It was a very low speed hit, but it did cause the damage seen in the picture. There is NO hidden damage, or frame type damage. Just the damage to the rear panel on the left side, and left quarter panel. Car drives just like it did before the accident. Do to the age of the car, it was totaled by my insurance company. I settled, and kept the car. An Arizona salvage title was issued on July 11th in my name. Since there isn't any structural, or frame damage. I believe all it will need to pass a restored salvage inspection will be the tail light replaced. I have ordered a used tail light on ebay, and it will be included with the car. If this a concern of yours, please confirm with your dmv. I guess it is best to look at the pictures, they explain this car best. There is some other minor front drivers damage that was on the car when I bought it. They can be seen in the pictures. Other than the damage shown, this car is straight and rust free! The rear hood does shut, I just had it up during the pictures. The interior is in very nice shape. The seats are great, accept the two top corners of the front seat shows some cracking, but the are not torn. The carpet is nice. The dash does not have any cracks. The headliner is in perfect shape. The car runs very good. Like I said, I drove it up from Tucson in 110 degree heat, and it ran great. Since this car has been in an accident, I am selling it as it. It should be transported to your location so you can look it over to see what it would take to put it back on the road safely. Since it has a salvage title, I will not answer any "Do you think I can drive this car across country" questions. Please ask any questions you might have, and make sure you look at all the pictures. This car is also offered locally and could be sold locally. If you have any questions, please call, or text six two 3- 252-two 3 two 3. I also have a video of me driving this car back from Tucson. If you are interested, send me your e mail, and I will e mail it to you. Please remember this car comes with a SALVAGE TITLE. Since there isn't any structural, or frame damage. I believe all it will need to pass a restored salvage inspection will be the tail light replaced. I have ordered a used tail light on ebay, and it will be included with the car. If this a concern of yours, please confirm with your dmv. A $300 non-refundable deposit is due with in 48 hours.
