I spoke to an attendant at the tow facility, he informed me that he has a '14 SS and knows exactly what my car is. I asked him about the damage and his descriptors were this:

*He told me that the post where the passenger door closes was displaced inward 6".
*The passenger quarter would have to be cut out and replaced because "there's no way to fix that"
*The driver quarter had some damage, but "not too bad"
*Both rear wheels were broken and would have to be replaced.

I then asked him......So, can you tell me anything about the rear suspension? His reply really confirmed my fears.

"Oh yeah, um... that. Well, um... it's F#@k'd.

He went on to explain that virtually everything under the rear end is bent or twisted, everything will need to be rebuilt or replaced.

He said he thought there was around $10k in damage..... At this point I really hope it's more.... I just don't want a car with a rebuilt rear-end, straightened mounts, stretched B-pillar, and that has been cut apart to weld in a replacement panels.

.... I have come to realize that the car I had is now gone, damn this really sucks!

I won't try to give you advice you didn't ask for. Sorry about your car. Hope everything works out for you.
