[DeTomaso] Flooded Pantera in Baton Rouge

Chuck,
Thanks for your belief that I could have a clue of these legal and money issues of cars I enjoy. 
These are items that this flood which is called a “thousand year flood" have brought to a massive point and what really worries me are:

—1—What power does the state of Louisiana truly have over me and my insurance company if this flood would submerged my cars, state law or not? 
I know La states power comes in only after Heacock or ?Ins says it is a total.
But? 

—2—How would Heacock determine when the Ghibli SS, Mangusta, Espada II, Bora, 250sl and a Formula 6000 race car are totaled? 
What % or $ # of agreed value do they use to determine a total?
I don’t think they want to total in La because they cannot get good auction money for their bought flooded car for their reimbursement.
Sure would cheaper to fix a beautiful rare car than to total it!
But?

—3—I do understand La state not wanting late model flood cars back on the market after being totally submerged. 
On Dec 4/2015, I was heading home and a fool lady, who said she ran the light on purpose because she was late for a meeting, ran my 97 Jag and me over. The car and I landed 61’ to my right and pointed back to where I just came from. WTF and total blindside??? 
My medical problem does not allow me to where a 2 or 3 point seatbelt since 4/15. 
So am lucky to be alive! By the way people and TV station loved the sign at corner of my work land.

My first wreck since 7/69. Her INS co paid me 20% more than what I paid for the car 1 1/2 yr before and then sold me the wreck back for $341. I have my broken collarbone to remind me of BONEHEAD drivers, the cool 18’ long public service sign we put above the car for two months with its many unique conversations with strangers and the car so to sell parts off of it. Removed and installed the fuel tank in a similar Jag last week.
But our thread is about totaled flood destroyed cars.
My other regular drivers, 98 E430 nitrous, 02 SL500, 05 S500, 04 Range Rover and 98 F150 would be useless stinky crap after being submarined and I would not want them for salvage or anything. 
I would take the $, let the state do what they want and buy something cool to take their place. 
Too many electronics only would hard parts be worth anything. 
Now the states law makes sense.

—4—Would Heacock, Grundy and others even try to, care to, give a damn to or care to even think about totaling beautiful non computer autos? 
I wonder what ins company paid for the wet Pantera, probably a mainstream co.

—5—Should I title my cars now in Montana or Oregon where they do not destroy these flooded cars?

—6—If my old cars where flood totaled in Louisiana yet titled elsewhere would La. take presence and have a right to control and scrap?

—7—In our quest of finding the best ins companies, should these type of questions be relevant to ask for 
knowing who would treat us the best?

I wrote Heacock questions like these today to find out how they stand.

So a 1000 year flood comes, washes away my loved cars, leaves a pile of $ in its wake, I may have no capability to buy back these critters and I know the state has crushed or something to them. Not a good feeling.
I guess some of you California people are used to this when fires ravage your cars.
What a flood of thoughts after a flood. 

Thanks for reading all of this,

Jeff Cobb

They now have, I think, salvage title to the Pantera.  The insurance company wants to make money and/or minimize their loss on the claim so they are interested in selling it for whatever it will bring through Copart, who, I suspect, will get a cut of the action.  So, IF I understand the situation the Pantera won’t be scrapped, but it will have it’s title marked SALVAGE or the Louisiana equivalent.

   Chuck,

   Thanks for your belief that I could have a clue of these legal and
   money issues of cars I enjoy.

   These are items that this flood which is called a "thousand year flood"
   have brought to a massive point and what really worries me are:

   --1--What power does the state of Louisiana truly have over me and my
   insurance company if this flood would submerged my cars, state law or
   not?

   I know La states power comes in only after Heacock or ?Ins says it is a
   total.

   But?

   --2--How would Heacock determine when the Ghibli SS, Mangusta, Espada
   II, Bora, 250sl and a Formula 6000 race car are totaled?

   What % or $ # of agreed value do they use to determine a total?

   I don't think they want to total in La because they cannot get good
   auction money for their bought flooded car for their reimbursement.

   Sure would cheaper to fix a beautiful rare car than to total it!

   But?

   --3--I do understand La state not wanting late model flood cars back on
   the market after being totally submerged.

   On Dec 4/2015, I was heading home and a fool lady, who said she ran the

   My medical problem does not allow me to where a 2 or 3 point seatbelt
   since 4/15.

   So am lucky to be alive! By the way people and TV station loved the

   Date: December 28, 2015 at 9:39:31 PM CST

   To: family

   Just got back from having another MRI.
   I am still chuckling because this tv interview was so cool.
   Channel 2 came over today and said they saw the sign and knew there was
   a story to be told.
   People had called them over and over about it.
   I am so glad that I did something I did not need to do so to help
   unknown others do what they needed to do so not to hurt others. Nice
   little story.
   I laughed my ass off while watching it.

   My first wreck since 7/69. Her INS co paid me 20% more than what I paid

   $ in its wake, I may have no capability to buy back these critters and
   I know the state has crushed or something to them. Not a good feeling.

   I guess some of you California people are used to this when fires

   What a flood of thoughts after a flood.

   Most did not have insurance because this never should ave happened at

   -------------------------Newspaper article--------9/1/16-------------
   As of Wednesday, State Farm -- just one of the insurers that serves car
   owners in the area
   -- had received
   almost 18,000 auto claims related to flooding.
   That number was more than double the number of homeowner claims the
   company had received, spokesman
   Roszell Gadsen said.
   With such a large volume, towing companies have been stretched to the
   limit.
   aWeave been working around the clock,a said Ronnie
   Stewart,
   of Stewartas Towing in
   Livingston Parish.
   aItas been hectic and crazy,a Stewart said. He estimated that his
   company, a small one with four
   trucks, had towed more than
   300 cars since the waters receded.
   There were still plenty more left to be towed.
   aWe probably havenat put a dent in all the cars thatas flooded,a he
   said.
   In East Baton Rouge Parish, the woman who answered the phone at
   Roadrunner Towing said there were
   no words to describe how busy it had been. Roadrunner, which has
   contracts with several local police
   agencies, had towed more than 700 vehicles by midweek.
   Most of the cars are being taken to private towers' yards or large auto
   salvage yards like Insurance Auto
   Auctions in Livingston or Copart in Greenwell Springs.
   Jeanene OaBrien, of Insurance Auto Auctions, said the company is
   handling athousands of cars per day.a
   A caras trip to one of these yards will be the first leg of its journey
   to the compactor or the junkyard.
   When a flood-damaged car arrives at Insurance Auto Auctionsa yard in
   Livingston,
   for example, the vehicle identification number is
   registered with both
   the
   National Insurance Crime Bureau and the National Motor
   Vehicle Title Information System.

   insurance or with coma|
   The state's Office of Motor Vehicles also will issue a certificate of
   destruction for any
   car that is
   totaled because of a gubernatorially declared disaster. The certificate
   is reported to those
   same national databases as a "fatal brand," or one that should prevent
   the car from being sold for
   anything besides parts or scrap.
   Insurance Auto Auctions sells only to licensed dealers, scrappers or
   dismantlers, OaBrien
   said. Members of the
   public cannot purchase cars from the company's lots in Louisiana.
   The process has improved since Hurricane Katrina, when thousands of
   destroyed cars remained
   under highway overpasses for months, said Jill Jarreau, of the OMV.

   The Louisiana Department of Insurance has issued a reminder to
   insurance companies regarding the Certificate of Destruction title
   requirements for flooded vehicles.
   The department issued the bulletin following the federal declaration of
   disaster due to the recent [18]massive flooding in Southeast
   Louisiana.
   A Certificate of Destruction is a type of title for water damaged
   vehicle that has been declared a total loss.
   The department said that when, as a result of an insurance settlement,
   a motor vehicle is determined to be a total loss due to water damage,
   Louisiana law requires the insurance company acquiring ownership of the
   vehicle to send the certificate of title to the Office of Motor
   Vehicles along with an application for a Certificate of Destruction.
   The certificate and application must be sent to the OMV within 30 days
   from the settlement of the claim.

   Dear Forum,
   An insurance adjustor friend of a Pantera friend
   told
   him that this Pantera is flooded and has been totaled and is
   available
   with a salvage title in Baton Rouge.
   It appears to be pretty stock. One picture I did
   not
   include shows the tub with a space saver spare plus the red inflator.
   The pictures seem to show a high water mark above the window sills.
   It seems that this car is *supposed* to be available
   for online auction through: [1][9]http://www.copart.com I have tried
   searching for it three times and can't find it on their site although
   there are lots of flood damaged and other cars there, i.e. Ferraris
   and
   Maseratis, etc, in small numbers.
   Supposedly the value on the car was said to be
   "$10,000". However, all the cars on the site are up for bid with a
   few "drivers" also available for a "buy it now" price. Finally, it
   seems that you have to register and pay a fee before you can bid.
   However, if you're keen for a "deal", then perhaps
   calling the Baton Rouge Copart salvage yard might be advantageous.
   Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
