Looks like a very clean close to mint condition car. I would say at least $3500.

You need to find someone on the board who is a licensed dealer. Have them write a written appraisal.
Our opinions will not help you much.
A signed appraisal from a licensed dealer may get you some response.
An appraisal from a certified appraiser may cost you, but could end up getting you want you want.

I couldn't agree with you anymore. Finding someone of that caliber will be tough for me.
I have went to two local Toyota dealership and neither would give me anything in writing. One quoted me over the phone (not seeing any pictures) he could sell my car (b4 accident) on his budget lot for 3900 to 4200. The second dealer (I drove 30 miles round trip) I showed the photos to and he wouldn't help me at all.
Today at lunch I drove to a lot that has a variety of cars and he talked to me but wouldn't offer any of the help I needed. He said I would only get what they offered.
I'm going to try tomorrow thru another suggestion from one of my work buddies.
Any help would be greatly welcomed
thanks mike

here in oklahoma my mother is an insurance agent and she told me this is how it works. Im in the middle of a swap and full restoration and the car books at something stupid like $1800 bucks. I told her my concern for when it is finished and she told me she will have her appraiser look at it, but then to be covered more than what they call "fair replacement value" it must be insured as a collectable for the stated amount on the appraisal. i personally hate insurance, but love having an agent as a parent!
