I paid $500 for my 95 with less front end damage than that. Better off parting it out.

Sub $500 for sure. But thats not to say there isnt someone out there looking for a project or needs a running motor and tires. Put it on craigslist and list it higher. You never know. Is the damage just body? Or is the frame and axle tweaked too?

Idk man. Driver side fender doesn't look like it would bolt back up without some fab work which means the header panel probably wont sit right either. Is the radiator support bent? There's a lot of damage up there.

I paid 800 for one with high miles but no damage.
If you want top dollar, part it out
You can pull a lot of parts and still get around $400 scrap price for the shell
