Question: Is it worth buying the care back for $1K or do I take the hit and start all over again?

Any advise is appreciated.

Ouch...
Most important that your son is not injured !!

If he upgrades including wheels and tires are worth more then $1K, then buy the car back and use the balance of $4900 to look for the same year in the best condition you can find...
Take the parts off of the wreck that you want and you'll still get about $300-$500 selling as a salvage vehicle.
