To repair that radiator, a shop would likely need to plug off about 15 to 20 of the damaged tubes where the fan went into them. Hard to tell from the picture if that spot in the middle where the fan went deep took out some of the second row of tubes. I've seen radiators as bad or worse than this repaired, but if you are paying a radiator shop $50-$75 per hour to do the work, it would add up fast & with a 40 year old radiator that is possibly half plugged up anyway, you may not end up with much when they are done. A recore is expensive, but many of the aluminum replacements need to be tweaked to fit, or the rubber mounts need to be removed & replaced with ? to fit.( I had to use a cut up bicycle inner tube...another guy posted that he cut off a piece of hose to pop in to the mounts. You may need to modify the mountings on your shroud as well...Just be prepared to do some surgery on the aftermarket replacements. Expensive as recoring your radiator would be, at least you could be pretty certain that it would fit.
