Jim,
Having mentioned if it was in VA you would fix it. Have you considered getting it evaluated to see how bad it really is and then decide whether or not to have it trailered back to VA for repairs? A forum member has mentioned used parts available in the Carolinas, it would be nice to see it saved to ride again. Not too many wagons left, especially 85's. Good luck with your decision!

Damn Jim, sorry to hear this. Glad the wife is okay. Unfortunately, with a previous salvage title, the insurance company WILL "total" the car.
If Desert Panther can't use the car I'll make a bid on it. I've got a '81 CD in need of the engine. Did you want me to take a look at the car for you? I'm available during the day.

STILL WAITING....
... to hear from the insurance company to see if the other driver even has insurance.
1) If not, I think I'm done. Much as I'd like to keep the car, I don't have the time or energy to deal with it. I'm looking at early retirement and downsizing due to cancer, and my dance card is full with prepping the house for sale and my other 7 cars. 2) If insured, first order is to try to have it fixed. I'll keep the offer of the doors and fender in mind and try to influence the decision toward repair. Too early in the game to speculate cost, offers, etc. Need to wait and see what transpires. If fixing it is not doable, I'll settle and see what the buyback is, then offer it to you local guys. Keeping my fingers crossed that the perps have insurance.....  Jim
