MCG had an article about one car that was demolished in the hurricane. I am sure there will be many others....but cars can be rebuilt, while lives are always lost.

Couple Moparts members lost their cars, but that's all I know.  One WAS an E body, in a body shop, nearly finished.  If I recall correctly, it was a 70 Challenger 383 car....  completely submerged in the flooding. :(

The insurance comp was giving 30K to a moparts member for his and would have charged him 15k to buy it back so he said for them to keep it.  There must be an auction that these will be showing up at.   Would like to know!!!!

I think there will be lots of flooded cars hitting the market soon.  Buyer beware.
