My 1988 420 SEL was rear-ened today by of all drivers, a Sheriff's Deputy. Went by the body shop I've used on other cars for him to take a look. He says the unibody is bent over the right rear wheel but he has a machine that can straighten it. Can it really be fixed or should I be demanding demunition in value plus the repair cost?

One thing that we really look for is any frame damage when performing a pre-purchase inspection...Get everything you can from their ins. agency!! Your car simply can't be worth as much when it has been hit.
Sorry for the bad news, but at least you asked other opinions!
