In most cases the insurance either offers the owner of the car to keep it for a portion of the total settlement or they take it to auction and sell it and just pay the owner the full claim value. In any case you'll have to buy it from the owner after he buys it back from the insurance company if you want to make sure you get it. You "could" buy it at auction, but it's possible that it would go out of state or to somewhere you can't access unless you've got a dealer's license.
Something else to consider is what are the state laws on "totalled or salvage" title vehicles? Can you get tags for it without proof of being repaired or what?

Told you about the buying it from the current owner is best! I think you can put a salvage titled car on insurance in Michigan.
