About 25 years ago my brother in law hit a deer and wiped out both headlights hood and upper surround. His story is much like yours except we didn't get the deer. Today his car looks and runs like new. His corvette won and yours did too. I'm sure next year you will only have pictures to prove you hit a deer and you 71 will look as good as it ever did.

Re: Deer vs. Corvette. I think the deer won.

are you going to mount the deer's head on the front of the 71? just kidding!! :0 actually its too bad what happened but when first reading the post, i thought before looking at the pics, the damage would be MUCH worse. i have seen some cars totally wrecked out by deer. was it at night when this happened?

Yes, it was 9:50 pm.

Now the insurance company is sending a second guy out to look at the car. It seems the first guy thinks the repair cost will be high enough he is thinking of totalling it.

Yeah, right.

collector car insurance?

do you have collector car insurance? this is my worst nightmare (i have collector car ins), getting my 69 damaged and needing some $$expensive repairs............................and the insurance co balking at the cost. besides the nightmare of getting your vette smashed up, now you have to deal with insurance people *shudder*

Re: collector car insurance?

My experience with Hagerty was very positive and would recomend them to anyone.
