MY TRIBUTE IS GONE AND NOW WRECKED,,,,

I sold my car as most of you know. The guy who bought it is a great guy. Transaction was flawless, He just called me and advised me that as he was driving back to Arkansas from my area on Floridas roads....a panther jumped out in front and wrecked the car good. Took out the GT bumper,. the Chin spoiler...the intercooler / Radiator for the Saleen, some tubing and he even thinks the waterpump. I felt horrible for this guy and really wanted to see if I can help him locate some replacement parts. anyone have a good contact for the GT bumper? he has all my other contacts for the chin spoiler...the SS grille Inserts....etc etc...also I advised him to go to saleen for the H/E, but may get him to call brenspeed as the upgraded one will probably be cheaper than the stock one from saleen...anyone have any contacts to help? I truly feel very bad for this guy...I am upset that my former baby is wrecked as well... any help would be appreciated....
