There are laws in the USA about selling re-furbished/etc goods as "New".
These damaged Fords might be covered under those rules..
Especially,since they were out of the factory (finished goods) waiting for shipment.
And, since the insurance company would likely be handling the disposition of the cars,
they will make sure they can't be liable for sales under false pretenses..
I would think the repairs would become part of the VIN history. (By federal law).
Show Me the CARFAX!
