I'd look at NADA as mentioned, Kelly Blue Book (kbb.com) and other
dealer price guides online. Some of them are more optimistic.
Then remind the insco that the inability to find one in equal
condition increases the value exponentially.
I would look at eBay (completed auctions) and Hemmings. Also look
at insurers and possibly chat with your bank and ask to see their
NADA Classic Book or on the value. That way you'll have a good idea
of where the insurance company is going to come in at.
Hmm. eBay "sold" auctions don't look too good:

AutoTrader not so hot, either:

Hagerty gives an average value of $6000:

That's a start. CarGuru doesn't have any market data, unfortunately.
You can do a country-wide search of Craigslist, but that's just
asking prices and really isn't much as far as data reflecting actual
sales. Poke around on the MBCA site and see if you can view their
for sale listings. If not, maybe there's an MBCA member here who
could look for you.
Keep us posted. And did you see a doctor yet?
