if it was hit hard enough, it could have tripped the inertia switch in the trunk. it shuts off power to the fuel pump in the event of a crash, but usually only triggers from rear collisions. cant hurt to check it anyway.
it should be a little black toggle switch mounted inside the trunk wall somewhere.

If ya need parts I got an 87 vert rolling chassis sittin here in the yard all there just has an lx body kit on it I got the gt on mine top and all works and is in good shape to rips or tears. I am going with the fuel switch its a black box on the driver side on the back wall of the trunk by the tail light bolts with a red button. Good luck
