Ron, my '79 Alfetta was parked and crashed into by an unintended acceleration lady a couple of years ago. < http://www.lesliewong.us/blog/2009/06/02/bad-joss/>
I'm in California and the insurance laws also require recent sales to establish value. At the time, her insurance company came up with a value of $2000, based on the two sales they could find. I was able to get her insurance company to pay for an independent appraiser, who established the value at $7000. I gave the appraiser a long list of modifications and upgrades, e.g., Campagnolo wheels, Koni shocks, Ansa exhaust, etc. Her insurance company then paid for the repairs. Maybe there is a similar law in Washington.
