That doesn't look that bad actually.

Once the front a rear bumper covers, and hood are removed. Looks like some simple straightening of the front and rear end, repair the damage to the engine (new radiator,etc), then replace the destroyed bumpers and hood, headlights and taillights. But looks can be deceiving.

It would be a shame to part this car out. This looks repairable. Not like the stripped Dale Jr edition I posted a while back.

anyone know if those red interior trim pieces are factory or custom? And if factory are they available in yellow?

TOO bad it's 5 hours away fro me. I'd take on the task of restoring it.

Looks like at best the trunk lid is in a twist and needs replaced and at worst the driver side quarter is pulled down and needs replaced.

yea as long as there isn't any frame damage this would be a steal. a guy could put a body kit on instead of replacing OEM parts too.

RJ may have a point. I thought I saw a wrinkle in the passenger side rear quarter panel, in one of the pics. May not be as simple as I first thought, but still looks repairable.

those pannels are factory for that year pace car. I have never seen them In Yellow ,
The wife saw thsi and asked when i was goign to do it to mine LOL

as for the damage i dont think it is really that bad,
the hood and the front clip need replaced but the rear end looks like it might be a shadow on it. But if you look at the photo bellow you can kind of get aidea of waht it should look like on the pass. side anyway.
this is a shot of mien when they did the body work last spring on it.

Also you could part it out if you really wanted to and make your cash back easy.
it also has the full options so this means heated seats,onstar,alarm,etc.... for anyoen that thinks they want those options it is a great way to get factory installed stuff for your car CHEAP!!

Im wiht R.J. when he sends me my 57 chevy he will have some room to put this in his shop and get to work!
