This will be entirely your choice if you have no insurance. If you do you'll have to work with them.

You don't have to convince me.

Some people take the insurance settlement and then buy the scrapped vehicle back (with a salvage title) and either part it out or rebuild.

Anyone with a Cobra is well advised to get an stated value policy where the company will pay that amount in case of a loss. You can't get greedy but a reasonable amount will usually be honored. The actual value policies never fully recognize the amount of sweat equity put into one of these.

100% agreed.

It would make an excellent donor car for a new build.
