Rusty, sounds as if you're vehicles for hunting...

Understand that, and its hard to make such a decision. My Z is in the garage and done till March. My main use of the Z is tracking, so on the road to and from and on the track.

But I do think at times about selling it and usually come up and say no. But that is getting harder and harder to do.

If you think the offer is fair and then do it. But don't look back, you at some point can always find another vehicle to love.

Also think about how it makes you feel, when you get comments on it. Yes its an old gal, but she carries it well. Comments keep coming, and I go WOW, they are talking about MY car.

Yea at times its not practical, but you live once. So good luck on whatever you decided. There is no wrong answer.

Try to pop it out with a toilet plunger. It may make it
less noticeable.

This is why we can't have nice things

Sorry to hear of the damage. I say repair the dent and keep it

From the photos, I would guess you definitely want to avoid an insurance claim.

Forest rat is a new one. I like it!
