If you owned a similar car and it was stolen, even though you seldom drove it, you have suffered loss of use.

That is not just one man's opinion but I get where you are coming from. Losing a trophy car may be a narrow interpretation of Loss of Use but legit, nonetheless.

Ownership of the car and L<oss of Use will be decided in the courts. I just came here to determine whether the 289 could be more valuable - in general - than the 427 and whether the wide hip Cobras are (and were) worth more to collectors. Previous posters have shed light on this.

I disagree. What you describe is closer to pain and suffering. Loss of use is physical. You can measure it. Pleasure derived from looking at a car in a garage has no measurable value. It has emotional value only.
