Was cruising Jalopnik and they had a story about the storms in Scottsdale AZ and the Russo & Steele auction going on. For some reason there was a Z mixed in there. Looks pretty bad, I wonder if it's a total loss?

Storm Causes $1.5 Million In Damage At Russo-Steele Auction - Car Auctions - Jalopnik

Quote:

A massive storm that struck the Russo and Steele auction grounds Thursday caused, according to estimates, $1.5 million in damages. That includes a massive tent protecting the classics falling, scratching and denting 600 cars.This is basically the nightmare of any classic car restorer. You spend months or years rebuilding the car, days detailing it, and have it towed to the auction grounds before the sale. All this work and the tent it's in collapses before you sell it.

The same gale terrorizing the Russo and Steele auction in Scottsdale also threatened the Barrett-Jackson auction across town and forced organizers to move everyone into a main tent and surround it with semi trucks, according to The Arizona Republic.

Despite the damage, auctions resumed yesterday.

At least it was a 350 and not a 370!

That would be a total loss.

Still, I'd buy it back off insurance, and part it out. The majority of the parts in that care would still be good!

Nice color though...
