save your k they are going fast and i would love to see pics sorry to hear about your accident hope you were not hurt. and you can get a value off the kelly blue book web site. best of luck

Dude thats a bummer, how much are they willing to pay and can you keep the car afterwards ? I would argue that the car is a sought after classic. I'd look up it's value in Hemming and Kelly blue book. Also get advice from the restoration shop about the value. Maybe they'll know a car guy lawyer that can prove the cars worth. You may be able to claim previous restoration costs or something of that nature.

Hi BobR. See the message I sent to your message box.

I would take it up with MY Insurance agent, give him 3 estimates, and let him take it up with the ladies insurance adjuster.

Thats what I did. I had a old Buick, adjuster wanted to give me $700 for my car and that I could keep my car, he said it was totalled. I said NO WAY, after 2 weeks of non-negotiations I finally took it to MY insurance agent after fighting 2 weeks with her insurance adjuster.

Needless to say, I got a check from the adjuster 5 days later for the amount to "repair" my car. I gues he thought I would just give up.......pity he don't know me...
