Agreed. It happened on THEIR watch, not yours. They are responsible for
the car from the time they take it, regardless of the form and signature.
It is a thing called negligence and that pretty well nulls out everything
else. If they act responsible, and something happens (jet crashes on
building, hurricane rips through) then it is your problem. If they leave it
outside in the dark with the windows rolled down and someone steals it, that
is negligence and they are responsible.
If you haven`t talked to a lawyer yet, RUN to the phone at 9 am and start
calling and talking to some.
Would you have bought this car if it had been wrecked? Probably not, and now
it is. It will go to a repair shop, not a restoration shop, so it will be
fixed, not restored, and that is a big difference. You`ll probably sell
within 6 months or gripe every other day for the next 5 years if you don`t
sell.

I have to disagree with your last statement. From what`s been said, it
seems that it`s almost all cosmetic. The front spoiler get worn. ripped,
etc... and replaced on Vette`s all the time. The front nose will be fixed
better than it was prior to the wreck, it already had nicks and dings.

There`s also an actionable tort called "conversion," essentially
unauthroized use of someone else`s property short of theft. Sounds like
the gentleman has a cause for action.
