Bummer on the loss. The old fastback mustangs rank highly in my book and I hate to see them crunched up like that!
Now, my question is, if the insurance company totals the vehicle, and he does buy it back and repairs it, when he goes to register it, won't it become a salvage title vehicle? I mean, if he has had this car for so long, he would probably never sell it or it may not matter, but just a question!

wonder how close he was following the mustang up front.. I'd be curious as to who's insurance is paying for the 09.

Yeah atleast everybody is ok. I guess his dad was very angry (understandably), the cops made him sit in his car until they could get everybodys info. As far as fixing the car and getting a new title, it will be branded "rebuilt". I guess we will have to wait and see if its really is fixable? The 09' is almost fixed on the teens insurance, I didnt hear of any problems with them throwing a fit.

Sorry to hear that. Glad nobody gets hurt.
Adding LED tail light (or a 3rd stop light) is always great. But as long as people sleep behind their steering wheel the biggest tail light wouldn't help...Jorge

Man that sucks. I hate seeing stuff like that. Glad he and his father were OK. A BMW SUV is a battering ram compared to 60's crash technology.
By the pics you posted, that car looks very fixable. Another member posted about the main structure and front boxes and I agree. It looks like what we would call a "high" hit. This means that the height of the SUV avoided focusing energies on the floor areas and the rear unibody rails. The quarters are probably buckled and I would be curious if there are any waves in the roof skin. Those early cars are pretty soft so they can be pulled and squared quickly. It could be worse than the photos show, but from what I see, that car should survive the process as long as you have a sharp field apraiser. Let me know if I can help.
