Default What's it worth? 98 Z with rod knock...

'98 Z28
17x,xxx miles
T-56
Interior - good/fair
Exterior - good/fair
Mechanically - decent (except for current rod knock)

Good friend of mine wants to sell it because it just started a bottom end knocking noise.
He wants me to give him a fair price for it, which is where I'm stumped.

I probably would not rebuild. I would most likely strip her down, sell parts, keep the ones I want, etc etc.

I need input!!!

Thanks in advance.

That's scary. It sounds like F-body heaven is around the corner for this high mileage beast.
I wouldn't pay more than 'trade-in' value for a car like you describe which would put it in the $2,000 area.

Your talking $2,000 for a non-knocking version of what I described?
Or you would give 2k with a rod knock?

Always tough when it's a friend. If it was some random Joe then I wouldn't give more than $2500 for it.
