That may not be a total loss. As was said, gather comps, your repair history on it, to show it was perfect and specially cared for, and if worst comes to worst, spend a few hundered bucks for the opinion of a professional auto appraiser.

Consider that an investment, you'll more than recover the amount of the appraiser's fees in the end, if you get a settlement on a total loss.

If you buy back gthe wreckage, and fix it, the amount of the wreckage (salvage value) would be deductged from the settlement. The insurance companies would have shopped the salvage around, to some wrecking yards, who'd have provided them a ballpark figure by stating what they would buy it for.

Those cars are rather difficult to find, and in considerable demand, so it is probably worth quite a bit. I am not quite sure it is totalled, by looking at your pictures, but then, parts and labor get expensive, fast, these days.
