That is/was a great looking car! I almost forgot about those entirely, not many around.
Sorry to hear about the deer, talk about terrible luck. Is he able to go through insurance on this one? Not sure if deer count as an 'at fault' or what?
Looking at that damage photo, it actually might be savable; hood, grille, headlamp, maybe pull on the core support to straighten it out a bit. Looks more cosmetic than anything else, from this angle at least. Did the bags blow?
