Anyways don't mean to sound insensitive.. Keep your chin up. Insurance will more than likely cover everything you need and just keep an open mind to potential possibilities.. Miata.. Facelift frs.. focus rs, whatever gets your jollies going.
It is a special edition and therefore is... well ...special. I would be pissed if my special edition (regardless of what that consists of) was destroyed. Sure of course you can make one that looks like it but that doesn't make it one. There are more 68 Malibu SSs on the road today then there was in 1968 but that doesn't mean they are the special edition car.


May be tough to replace with the same thing so maybe trying a new platform would be in order.
