The Nighthawk is DEAD :(
Well, my trusty car is done. 
Officially it is now my sons car, but I built it. Anyway, he hit a deer. It's not worth fixing. The good news is we found a replacement for it, another Black 1989 GTA. We will soon be parting out the wrecked one after we get what we want off it and put it on the new car. Here is the before and after and my new ride, a 1975 Pontiac Grand Am. My son will be taking over my login here and will manage parting out the wrecked car. If you have any requests send a message.
I couldn't figure out where to post this. No section for RIP cars............oh well.

Re: The Nighthawk is DEAD :(
sounds to me like the only reason you are parting it out is because you're going to take so many parts off it for the new car, the old one wouldn't be complete anymore.

Re: The Nighthawk is DEAD :(
The hood doesn't even count, since it's aftermarket...so what are you looking at? A fender and bumper cover?
Doesn't appear to be any frame damage based on the pics, or even that expensive of a repair. But I guess just put it in the parts section, along with the other part-out classifieds that compromise 50% of the classifieds.

As the others have said, it doesn't even look that bad. Until I saw the pic you made it sound like the car hit a pole. Don't part it out, sell it to someone who'll fix the minor damage and keep another 3rd gen on the road.
