Highly unlikely if the frame was damaged (as often happens when drunk drivers get behind the wheel)

I thought people in Pakistan don't drink, at least publicly.

People who drink and drive deserve to get hurt

It is less about the cost and more about the loss of something you basically hand crafted. Time, love, and energy was probably spent over these 6 months. source: my uncle rebuilds vintage sport cars and engines

Well I mean he could've lost his life. Last time I checked that's not replaceable.

As a classic car enthusiast I get exactly what has OP so upset. 6 months of hard work and effort down the drain very fast plus it's not exactly cheap to do a restoration. When your done you expect to be able to take some pride in your vehicle and be able to say I did this. I've got a few projects myself that are going to take years. Insurance won't even pay the whole thing unless you can provide a receipt for everything and prove what you have in it most of the time

I can definitely understand where OP is coming from. I would be pissed if my Mustang got destroyed in an accident. It has a lot of sentimental value, and I'm guessing the OP feels the same about his car. 6 months of hard work on a car would make it more than just a mode of transport IMO.

plus, don't you need special insurance for vintage restored cars. insurance won't really replace the work done

if he even had it insured yet. he just finished it. just happened

You should definitely look into getting classic car insurance though. The value of the car can be negotiated, depending on it's status ( fully restored, just alright condition, well-maintained original, etc ), the money you put into it, etc. That would absolutely be worth the money. I look forward to the day I can afford to get one of my own. There are some truly beautiful works of art out there on 4 wheels.
