They probably could fix it but it depends on the insurance company and how bad the strut tower and chassis rail are squashed, sorry to see it like that dude.

Id be inclined to take off the spot welds to the nose cone, guards, remove bonnet etc and fix it ya self. should be pretty straight forward. Lets be honest the insurance would get quoted $2k + for that and the value of a stock SL VL is maybe $1500 - $3000 Im saying if you love the car get the $$$ and do it your self

That thing is neat, you would want a good painter after the chassis is straightened anyway.

i dont think im gonna bother with it, just strip the beige interior and save some other extra useful parts (one of the headlights is savable lol) and just start saving for a vlt. at least i will have a few spare parts when i get it anyway. time being ill drive any old sh*tbox till i can get back into a vl.

The rest of the car looks great, at least get some photos and get a few quotes before you send it to the VL graveyard.
