That was the second week they had your vehicle listed for auction, with the first mistakenly listing the doc type as FL Salvage title. That auction ended on April 10th, they then relisted with the screen shot describing France title and FL bill of sale only. Seems to me if all they were looking for was a value the first listing would have given them everything they need. The key is that you have not signed the car over to USAA at this point so therefore they can go thru with the sale.
Often times insurance compaines will run a check with copart for the auction value and use that number as a deduct for someone who wishes to keep their vehicle, this works well for 2012 maximas which are on copart by the 1,000s..... not so much for classics. So, in order for them to get a ball park salvage value for a '69 Fastback GT they needed to take bids. That high bid should be the amount they deduct from actual value, cut you a check and you keep the vehicle, but i certainly feel like they should have done a much better job of keeping you in the loop throughout this process..... seems fishy.
I stumbled upon this forum simply by googling the vin described in the copart auction, second hit that came up. The guys that bid on copart certainly know how to use google as well, and whoever bid that 21,600 number certainly read this thread and knew of the cars immaculate restoration.
I search copart along with other sites with the dream of one day posting my own restoration thread, so when i saw where this was headed i felt like i had to stand up and say something. Sorry if i hijacked the thread and hello sneaky insurance company if you are listening.... do the man right.
