Steve,
It depends on the company you are dealing with.  Some will be more of 
a hassle than others.  If you can get a body shop to give you an estimate
just under the value of the car.  You can come out alright.  Otherwise,
with
a car that old, you can likely buy it back from the insurance company
for a couple hundred bucks.  My family has BTDT several times.  Not our
faults just seem to be able to find poor drivers at every turn.

Keep in mind that I have two parts cars.  An 84 5KST and an 85 5KS.
(Sorry about the time on that reflector.  Did you get it?)
Good luck
