Out of curiosity what do they go for in the US?
Also is the US pricing the same as Canadian and South American? Or is is cheaper to cross the border in a particular direction? |

It looks great! But you still have a salvage title.

I believe if the value of the repairs, rental cars, legals, etc. exceeds more than 30% or 35% of the value of the car then it is written off. You dont see many Jeeps on the roads in the UK and Trackhawks are even more rare as the UK was only allocated 20 of them. I would imagine being so rare in the UK and with availability of parts and authorised garages being scarce that in the UK they would be written off for the very lightest of damage. Being more common in the US, they are probably alot easier and cheaper to repair and I would imagine the threshold to write them off would be a lot higher. |

Looks like a home run! Love seeing a BMW being revived, no matter the model. This one, given all the systems was no small feat. Great work!!

Much respect and admiration for the effort/expense pour into this, but to me a car that has had that much damage will never ever be the same no matter how much care and attention to detail you put into the repairs.
It is a branded car for ever. But whatever floats your boat. Enjoy.

I applaud having the stones to take on a project of this complexity.
