Not that it really matters, but Tim was actually downsizing/retiring. (Hell of a retirement, eh?) All of those cars were supposed to be auctioned off in April.
When the COVID hit, the auction was postponed until July. Sad.
With that said, I'm not sure what kind of insurance he had. Or, indeed, if he was covered at all.
I have heard that all of the cars will inherit "salvage" titles. Some states allow "rebuilt" titles, after a thorough rework of the affected areas, and an inspection.
The good news (if there is any to be gleaned from all this) is that the water damage was all fresh water, unlike most hurricane flood damage. So the electrical and/or corrosion damage may not be as severe.
(FWIW, I tried to donate yesterday, and there was an "error" on the page. I will try again.)
