Hey all,

My 84 244DL was the victim of a hit and run accident. My insurance company has totaled the car and I have since replaced her with an 89 244DL. The damage on the 84 is confined to the passenger side front fender, front passenger door, windshield, hood and the front support panel of the engine bay (where the hood latches). The grill is also missing, the turn signal lenses are cracked and so are the headlight surrounds. There's a few exterior trim pieces missing and I've also taken a few pieces of interior trim out. The car is still very driveable (would need a power brake booster soon, I swapped it into the 89). My question is what would my 84 be worth to someone as a parts car? The engine and tranny are in good condition with around 170K miles on them. The external fuel pump is a few months old. The 55 amp alternator is a few months old as well. I drove it 1400 miles in 20 hours last month when I moved from Ohio to Texas and the car performed amazingly. Packed to the gills with my belongings, I averaged about 21 to 22 mpg. Nice considering it's age and the fact the a good portion of the trip involved climbing mountains. I don't want to retire the car to a junkyard and have that be the end of its life, but I have no idea what a fair price on the car would be.....Help, thoughts, suggestions please??? I'm clueless.....

Thanks
