So driving it is rather fraught, and it's value isn't strictly monetary.
No. It's not "just a car."

Everyone's car and situation is unique. I've just done all of the cadmium plating and bumperette anodizing for the very first production Speedster from 1954, going to Amelia Island in 3 weeks. That's not just a car for obvious reasons. And your car is not just car for the reasons you lay out. But all the stories I read here about people's cars over the many years, the vast majority are just cars. Which IMHO should be used and not angstified (made up word) over, and since they are asking, that's my $.02.
