Here's a slideshow of the Russo & Steele damage. It's really bad. Some of the cars will never be the same.

You wernt kidding, there are a few pics that look like they were taken in a junk yard. I feel sorry for the owners of the cars because im sure that R&S wolnt want to pay for the damages and the insurance compaines will do the same. unfortunatly it is quite possible that some of these cars have come to the end of the road and are no longer worth anything.

I feel sorry for the folks who had a car that was an unmolested original, they just lost a boatload of the car's value and will never be able to get it back.

The "unmolested original" Ferrari coupe with a broken windshield, dented brightwork and damage to the roof, that belonged to the original owner for 37 years still sold at a decent price. It was funny, when Drew said that "Windshield's are not expensive to replace". I laughed, because, even though an OEM, N.O.S. window is probably avilable somewhere, I certainly would not be calling speedy auto glass to replace the window with a PPG aftermarket piece. Though I don't know the cost off hand of a factory replacement cost, I don't think $4-6,000 is far off just for the glass alone. The Pantera, Ford GT, Nissan 350 and The Dodge Challenger Convertible did not fair so well.
If you didn't get dirty, then nothing was accomplished!
