Sounds like a G92 IROC (3.45 Gears / 5-spd)

I'd try to fix it as it's a desirably optioned car..

However, if you're lookin' at frame damage.. it might not be practicle (as in thousands of dollars to repair)..

Really sorry to hear about the accident..

If you do decide to part, let me know..

How much love do you have for it? I have a very similar car:

1987
LB9
5 speed
3.45 rear
Oil cooler
4 wheel disc brakes
No T-tops - conscious decision

I can't seem to shake the drive to drive it...

So did you say the rear of the car hit the concrete too? If so it may very well be totaled since it is a unibody. I am not saying fix it or dont, but it will be expensive because you cant just unbolt the rear quarters and replace.
