The overwhelming odds are that the car has no independent evidentiary value which requires its continued impoundment, and if that is the case, then it should be returned to you after processing and upon proof of registered ownership.
When it comes to impounded vehicles law enforcement usually enjoys the following options: 1) Impound with no hold, release to registered owner with proof of ownership and payment of impound related fees; 2) Impound with an evidentiary hold, no release without a Court Order; and 3) Impound with a forfeiture hold, no release until after forfeiture proceedings have concluded.
My advise: Hire a local criminal defense lawyer who can discuss (and persuade the cops to believe) the fact that you are an “innocent third party” who is also being victimized by the continued impound of your vehicle.
To be clear, although they may lawfully require your statement so as to release the car to you, I do not recommend your engaging the cops in this dialogue without the assistance of a skilled and experienced criminal defense lawyer.
I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
