[QUOTE="Mulholland Man, post: 16474496, member: 191905"] Update: I'm being quoted 1500 bucks just to remove the engine from the car. Engine builder says he can disassemble and inspect entire big block for 500. That's 2k just to find out exactly what went wrong and how much to rebuild the engine. Getting estimates of 8-20k to rebuild (without knowing exactly what we are dealing with yet). Wife doesn't want me to keep the car. She's not a big fan of me modding the car in first place. I'm thinking VERY seriously about selling the car as is but worried that I'm going to lose my shirt doing so. Everything on this car is TITS, especially the complete Griggs SS suspension ($5000 + 3500 to install). Specs are above. If you were me and wanted to sell the car, how would you proceed? Would you spend the 2k to find out damage and repairs and then price the car accounting for the rebuild cost? Would you rebuild and sell? Not even sure how to value it given the circumstances. Car had to be worth 50k before damage (put 30k + into it). Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you all might have. [/QUOTE]
