When my 67 Nova was T-boned, the insurance company considered it totaled. That only meant that they would not pay as much to fix it as it would cost. I didn't have to "buy it back" all I had to do was *not* junk it. I had just rebuilt the engine and it had about 1,000 miles on it. Luckily I found a 63 Nova in great cosmetic shape w/ no engine in it for $300. It may be something that varies from state to state, or it may be that they did things differently back then, but I don't remember having to pay anything to "buy the car back." All I had to do was tow it home and accept the few hundred dollar maximum payout.

Thanks, yeah I've heard of people doing that before, I'm gonna check the value this morning and see what it's worth so when the estimates come in I'll know what they might do ahead of time. How does one go about buying it back? Kelly C.
