Early A body Car

I believe the insurance claim should be all done sometime next week. I am looking over two cars that I may make an offer on. But, they are not a 1964 Dodge Dart GT which is not an issue for me. However, my 2 copilots 8 and 12 are still expressing their sadness at losing the car. And, have even expressed their desire to have the car repaired, or finding another 64 Dart GT Hardtop. I know I am the one to make the decision, but my boys are challenging me. The classic car adjuster estimated the car repair for $1000 less than what I have an agreed value amount with my insurer. I could add 3K from my wallet and find a car already done. Decisions Decisions Decisions.
