Having been a body guy for a few years I would bet its totaled.
There is at least 3k there to fix it. If not closer to 5k.

I would buy it back for 300-700 and then find your self a clean one with a blown motor and use this one for parts.

Hell if you where closer I would buy the thing from them for the parts if you didn't.

Good luck, and let us know what they say.

My girlfriend wrecked mine into a guard rail at 60mph. Pounded and other the frame for about 4 hours. Bought a landl front bumper and a new passenger fender. Got a red header panel and had it painted to match. That's about it. Passenger side frame isn't perfect but the bumper reinforces it nicely. Bumper was about 500, fender 75, header panel and paint job 350, and I had the rewire the front end. Good to go! How's the steering? If that's legit you're fine.

e3xactly. When mine blew out on me after a mere week of ownerwship. I was pissed. if u buy it back. if the unibody is ok then repair it. if it isnt. pull that motor. pull the tranny and anything else u want from it. part the body out. u would be amazed bwhat straight body work goes for. my cousin had three 1960's mustangs rottin around her property. four if u count what was left of the shelby in the barn. all together she wouldnt have gotten like 700. we parted out two and pocketed 5k.for the body work alone. i am takin that 67 off her hands.
