I would've just replaced the hood, blended the front end paint and PDR'd the rest. With old cars you're usually better off DIYing stuff like this instead of getting insurance involved.
Hail damage means newer vehicle time!

It has 117,000 miles on a 2008. It would have been interesting to know what the buy back would be.

Yet their peeling clear coat doesn't matter.
So 1983, I'm going to say more dealerships of american cars than foreign existed. With that said, I just think its funny anyone even got the words out of 1983 and cars lasting 10-15 years. The american offering was weak, built to die at 60k-100k, with problems, to keep you coming back for more. They should have been worried about building a car that lasted.
