Wife hit a deer with her 1985 300D... What to do?

[jusme]

Anyone who knows me either by chatting on the forum, or dealing in person with me knows I am in the slow painful process of De-Benzing myself as I move to a new house in a very restrictive subdivision. A while back, I gave my wife my 85 300D to replace her previous DD, an 1987 300D I sold to a forum member here. The car is (was) beautiful. Anyway, she hit an 8 point buck recently and knocked it unconscious for some seconds before it finally got up and hobbled away, but in the process crumpled the driver's fender on the car. I'm attaching pics of the car before and sadly after impact. The panel damage was localized thankfully to the fender, no hood impact at all. There's a very small crease in the door that should be repaired as the door would need to be sprayed anyway to properly blend the paint.

My question is, I'm planning on selling every Benz, including hers. So, should I just put her car in storage until I have time to bolt a fender on it, and take care of the paint in the spring when it warms up? Or, should I just sell it needing a fender. I already have 2 replacement light assemblies, so I wouldn't be out the parts money there. It's literally just the fender I'd have to source. I guess what I'm asking is would I take a huge loss in the price selling the car needing a fender and paint? Opinions welcome. The car is perfectly driveable, just unsightly in that quadrant. That was the favorite W123 I've ever owned. Eh, well.

With this being as close to rust free as I can determine after crawling all over and under it (couldn't find a speck), what would this be worth realistically? I realize the later model wheels may not appeal to a purist, and if that's an issue, I can swap them for either Bundt's with tires, or the aluminum blanks with matching hubcaps. At first, I didn't care for the wheels, but they've grown on me given the color of the car.

A/C blows cold, everything in the car operates as it should.

Please advise gents...
