Wham! anyone good with insurance valuation?

[C1J1Miller at aol.com]

Managed to drive my car into the wall at the track; insurance company looks
like they want to total it, and are offering "book value".  Since I've done a
lot to and with my car, I think it's worth more.  Any thoughts/ideas on this?
 They said they'd look at advertisements for similar cars for sale; otherwise
they want me to hire an independant insurance appraiser to evaluate the car.
They'll do the same; then split the difference.
Car is in NY.  I'll likely buy another, take back the salvage, transfer
parts.  Perhaps do a project as well...
Thanks for any advice,
Chris
