Why wouldn’t the owner just settle with the insurance company and keep it. Only thing I can think of is that the insurance company paid a pretty good premium to them.

Looks like the hood latch released while driving, and the hood folded over the windshield/roof. If that's all the damage, then why would it be salvaged?

There is a big dent in the air cleaner, maybe the mounts broke and popped the hood. Hood and hinges would not usually be enough to total a clean car like this. It may have other issues. Some states also mark recovered thefts as salvage.

It's here because the owner insured it fo 3x it's actual market value and he really wanted an SS396

costs of repairs are high and the new parts for the latch . insurance company just wants a good return on there loss , so sell it and they wash there hands on it . they total vehicles all the time just to have no more dealings with them . some one will bid it up , and they recover most of the loss . there happy .
