Sorry to hear about the demise of "the legend", but glad to hear you're OK.

Was the other person at fault? If so and if the person has reputable insurance, you should end up fine. The insurance co will want to do everything they can to make you happy so this incident doesn't end up in court. They should give you a very good settlement for your car. This will be one instance where the higher prices listed in the various car pricing guides will work to your benefit. Don't be surprised if they offer you more than book value. But they will want you to sign a release saying you'll not sue them.

With a generous settlement, the economy still sputtering, and the end of convertible weather approaching, you should be able to find a nice replacement.
