     OK guys, I can use your help.
     
     Driving into work yesterday, in stop an go traffic, the guy behind me 
     decided that he did not need to stop.  Needless to say, a minivan doing 40 
     does a LOT of damage to a TR6.  The car spun, taking a lot of the energy, 
     but the passenger side still an accordian, and I don't think there is a 
     straight piece of sheet metal on the car.  I was able to walk away from 
the 
     wreak, and for that I am grateful!  However, now I must deal with all on 
     the administrativa.
     
     After owning and driving it for a couple of years, I had created a lot of 
     sentimental in the car, but I cannot claim that on the insurance form.  
     What I need is a solid $$ value for the car so I can preempt the insurance 
     company in the totaled value.  Does anyone have a good recomendation for 
     where to look to get an estimated value?  I was planning to pull the local 
     car rags to get comps for the area, and back this up with the collectable 
     books.  Am I missing anything else?  I will definitely check with the 
local 
     Triumph club (HCTC, Austin, TX) also.
     
     Thanks for any info.
     
     BTW, I am now looking for a straight frame and body that I can transplant 
     my newly apointed interior and dravetrain into.  Preferably in or around 
     Austin, TX.  Or else, I will start parting out the remains.
     
     Thanks,
     
     Scott Mackay
