I have a 66 Coronet that I have had for over 20 years and it is still in pieces. I keep buying other projects and putting them in front of it. I hope to get started on it in a couple years.
Sorry for your loss. I was told by my insurance company once that if I had a car in the garage and it was sitting on jack stands being worked on that the home insurance would cover it even if I didn't have insurance on the car. Might check in to it.
