Severe storm causes 1.5 million in damages at Russo & Steele car auction.

I was looking at these earlier today, enough to make me puke. :(

From those pictures I cant see how the damge could possibly be as low as 1.5 million. If you assume at least a few of those cars were original paint cars that just lost a ton of value. Not to mention the cars that are all original and will only be restored with NOS or original parts again. That has to be way more than 1.5 million in my opinion. Geez some of those cars have the roofs caved in, they will need new roofs put on them or some extreme body work.

What I heard a little while ago it was over 3 million now! One of the cars severly damaged was a 70 Hemi Cuda Convertible! Pole across the roof and the windshield frame laid back! Even if they repair it just think how it's value is forever damaged!
I was almost crying looking at some of those cars!

Its gut wrenching to look at those pictures and think about how those owners must feel.

and what if their insurance doesn't pay because its an act of nature and it's not covered?
