When my 86 4kcsq was totalled nearly 2 years ago I was paid $2850 for it 
(bought it 3 months prior for $1450.)  it had 165k miles on the odo, and 
the rear quarter panel was painted in primer.  Still haven't received 
anything for pain and suffering. I was rear-ended by a Ford Ranger going 
nearly 60 mph while I was going 5 mph!  Trunk was crumpled up to passenger 
compartment, and roof buckled a bit, but otherwise I walked away with just 
whiplash.  As soon as I stepped out of the car after the wreck I knew it 
was totalled.
