Wow that sucks, are you going to get another stang or go a different route? Your car is definately totaled that's quite a bit of money in repairs since it's a lot of body work and much more. Glad you are okay!

haha there are two good wheels.....i mean like most of the drivers side is untouched.....but i dont think the insurance company would like me just leaving them a frame :-p
glad you are ok. The car is yours and you paid the insurance to cover any financial loss you may have and to make sure your finance company get their money. You can take any part you want.

Its your car. You policy does not state that if the car is totalled, you give the car to the insurance company. Most people don't realize that you pay insurance to cover any financial loss.

Don't you have to buy it back from the insurance company if you want to take stuff off of it to sell? But then again there are a ton of insurance agency's and every one of them is different in dealing with total losses.

It's always been my understanding that when the car is total the insurance company is essentially buying the car from you or your bank, so it's their car at that point.

If the wheels are aftermarket then you can take them and put your stock wheels back on, but you can't just gut the car. Once you except the insurance money you have sold the car to the best of my knowledge. It would be best to ask your insurance company.
