Did you check the the gaps between the rear door and the rear fender? The 
85' 5000s that I used to have got rear ended once on the freeway by a 77' 
Chevette. At first glance I had almost the exact damage like your car 
sustained but then upon closer inspection I noticed the rear fender got 
pushed foward by about 1/8 of an inch. The insurance adjuster didn't even 
notice it at first. 

Also check the turn signal light and brake light on that side, mine has a 
hairline crack on it, I didn't notice it the first time I looked at it 
that evening.

Anyway the 77' Chevette was totalled ;) The guy had no insurance and his 
license was suspended 3 weeks prior to the accident because he had 2 
other accidents prior to hitting my car. Guess what I saw the guy pulled 
up along side next to me on the freeway 3 weeks later!
