The plan was to keep the car for many years.
The insurance company already knows how much this car means to me and they are working hard with me to get it repaired and not salvaged.
They did say they can possibly just write me a check for whatever the repairs are and I'm free to do what I want and repair it myself. They said the repairs just can't be around 70% of the value, and they're trying to get the value as good ad it can be.
I'm hoping there's no frame damage and I have a photo that shows where something hit the frame and there's a small dent but don't know if anything has happened or not.

Nicely and politely argue with the insurance company to get the most out of it.
Then, buy it back from them and repair yourself.
If the frame is not damaged, but it could be, then the easiest is a transplant.
This is what I would do. I would not care for a salvage title as long as my state allows me to register it and drive it. Also, it is important to know time ahead what about insurance claims on this car once it is REPAIRED and put back on the road.
