Fixed worse than that before.
Notice the rear door gaps, still perfect. That's a big clue.
Damage on these cars is usually not as bad as it outwardly seems. The glass has it's way of making it look pretty bad. Save all the broken pieces
A lot depends on what you can buy the parts for vs finished value.
Bubblebacks aren't big money.

I do believe that car is repairable, but what is it worth vs. repair cost probably make that one a parts donor. Comcast would owe me a new Z06 if it were me. Never cross the yellow to avoid an accident; it almost never works. Hang up, put your coffee in the cupholder, and drive.

Little zaino and some premo floor mats should do the trick.
No but really that doesn't look like it felt very good.

That looks a lot like our car. It looks very fix-able. Hope everyone was ok !
