I'm not an insurance adjustor but that's going to cost a heck of a lot more than $25K to fix. Let's hope the driver (and car) make a full recovery.

Some questions come to mind. If as reported the driver's licence was suspended and the driver not legally entitled to drive; what is the likely response from the insurance carriers? It seems that in this case, the only criteria to determine repairability is cost; if that is the case, would someone buy the wreck and keep it until prices warranted the repair or would it be broken up for parts? If the vehicle is repairable, is there any opinion on saving it at all costs rather than letting another dino dissapear?
Dignini: If I was the doctor, I would be more concerned about my liability section of the auto insurance, and whether or not it will provide any coverage? Since he's a doctor, it's assumed he has money and will be the target of a lawsuit regardless of fault. Thanks! Mark
I have been informed that this Dino was the car that I owned from 1997 to 2003 (S/N 4960). I hope that the people involved will recover fully. It was a great car and, under my ownership, the suspension, transmission and engine were rebuilt by Continental Autosports. When I traded it in on a F355, it was in fantastic mechanical condition and still in pretty good cosmetic shape.
Hello The driver was driving while being suspended and or revoked, thus the Insurance company may not be held to pay for damages incurred. Also Youre right, either thats a parts car now or it will cost far more than $25,000.00 to repair. Thanks Norm
P.S. The owner/driver of the car is back home at started work again. Maybe this can be the end of the story.
