Huh? However, Blue Book is for stock vehicles (modifications aren't considered,
obviously) so maybe a non-stock vehicle of equal condition is considered lower
value...? I'll have to investigate this, thanks Tom.
A few years way back I had a very old driver run a stop sign causing me some
damage (I rolled over onto the driver's side). The insurance company said my
car was worth ~$600 and damages were $1310 so they she was "totaled" (small
claims court and the $1310 was suddenly mine, however).

When I checked blue book a few months back, my '72 was listed at $3500 (I'm
dead serious) and I have it insured at $6000. Now why wouldn't you list it
for what you have put into it? As long as you have the receipts to back up
the work and parts you will get reimbursed in the event of disaster (well,
according to my insurance provider anyway).
