Turns out the body shop that crashed my Viper has multiple complaints against them. The owner of the body shop is Cooper Faassen and is actually a race car driver...but he is also an *******.

Anyway, I am selling my Viper as salvage or for parts. The Viper is at a shop and the manager there will remove whatever parts you wish to buy and ship it to you. 90% of the car was undamaged by the accident and is in perfect condition including the engine. See classifieds or email me at [email protected].

Good - hopefully this helps your case a bit. If they have a history of being negligent, and the dealership that handed your keys over to them knew that, that makes the dealership just as negligent.

This guy? Are you sure he owns the shop? He looks very young. Is the shop Wilburn Auto Body?

You could contact Paul Scharf or Viper Parts Larry both vendors here to see if they are interested in purchasing your viper. Just a thought if it would help recoup some of your money.

As usual, Keith, has his facts a little mixed mixed up. It is Charlie Faassen that runs the chain of shops. I would guess that Cooper is one of his three sons or a brother. See below from their web site. If they had an ounce of family pride and decency, they should have offered to repair and make Keith's car like new. Since they are a chain of body shops, it would have cost them relatively little and gained them aditional respect. They could still do same assuming Keith took the insurance payout and has aquired the salvage. A very poor business judgment was made.

I was under the impression that until the owner of the vehicle is paid by an insurance company it cant be sold by either party(insurance or owner)? So has someones insurance paid you for what the value of an 04 viper is worth and then you are just suing the ones responsible for the difference of the added mods value? Or are you just selling the car before settling with any insurance company involved? Cause if there is no car to hand insurance at time of the claim pay out they will not be obligated to pay out a dime. Unless it is different were you are from?
