Damn! I could just imagine the call the Dart owner made to his insurance company.

No such thing as a totaled F40 these days, still sad I'm sure it was an unmolested original example and that is gone.

Such a shame, can't imagine what the Dart owner felt like after knowing what he'd done.

Vote dwells for supreme dictator of the world: blowing a red light in a Dodge and totaling an F40 would be a mandatory death sentence under my rule.

The silver lining is that we'll have more of these running around.

Sadly, Dart sales help fund future Ferraris now.

They built over 1,300 so they're miles from extinct... not that it changes the fact that it sucks to see one banged up.

First of all, it seems like very few people, even here in ontario understand how no fault insurance works. The Ferrari's own insurance will pay for the repair of the car and the Dart's insurance will fix the Dart. Of course that doesn't change the fact that fault will be assigned to the Dart driver and it will go on his record. This will put him in a higher risk category which means a significant increase in premiums.

Secondly, that car is far from totaled. The engine and all the major components are in the back. There's probably nothing more than a subframe and a few body panels up front. It is repairable. And cost is immaterial. Such rare classic cars are almost always repaired, never written off, even when the repair can exceed the cost of the car.

Dart owner better have an umbrella policy or he is going to be in financial ruin. I bet the F40 owner has good legal department to back him up on collecting.

I doubt that it's even close to being totalled, it'll buff out.
