Angry 83 wagon front fenders and hood

I was involved in an accident last week . A drunk driver ran a stop sign and wrecked my right front fender, hood , and pushed the left front fender into my drivers side door. Luckily I saw him coming and whipped the wheel to the left and applied the brakes. Otherwise he would have tboned me from the side. My question is are the front of these wagons different then say a 300 sd from that era ? Any help would be appriciated.

SD? no way. The hoods and front fenders in all the 123's are the same but the hood hinges changed somewhere around 1982, but are still compatible even though they are shaped differently.
Glad to hear you are not injured and the fast thinking prevented a total loss!

The hood and fenders from any 300d 81-85 (wagon or sedan) will fit. Sorry to hear about your accident. Least it sounds like you didn't get stove up.
