Default '97 Ss #306 F/s

Well, the SS started knocking yesterday and I don't have the time/money/motivation to deal with it so here goes...

1997 Camaro SS #306 109k miles
Black w/ gray cloth interior (30th anniv. seats)

NEW PARTS:
-ACE stage-II 4l60e w/ 3500 stall converter (500 miles)
-BFGoodrich KDW's 275/40R17 (3k miles)
-plugs & wires (6k miles)
-water pump (10 miles) <--- yes thats 10 miles
-cap & rotor (10 miles)
-Optima Red-Top (6k miles)

OTHER AFTERMARKET PARTS:
-K&N cold-air
-Granatelli MAF
-smooth TB elbow (not sure on brand)
-BBK 52mm TB
-BBK chrome shorty headers
-!cats
-!air pump (still has egr)
-custom 3" mandrel-bent hooker exhaust
-SLP/Eibach springs
-MadZ28 tune
-MSD coil

THE BAD:
-Just started knocking yesterday (possibly bottom end, but still has great oil pressure)
-cracked dash pad (one place)
-couple of small door dings
-front bumper cover is starting to spider-crack

I still owe $5000 on the loan and have $2300 in credit card debt from the tires and transmission rebuild. I know I won't get anywhere close to what I have in it, but I want to get as much back as I can... If anyone is interested shoot me a PM or call me at 817-692-1629 and we can talk. The car is located in Ft. Worth, TX. I'll try to get pics up ASAP.

Thanks.

EDIT: here are some older pics (about 6 months ago) - http://s185.photobucket.com/albums/x...stuff/97%20SS/

Probably your best bet to part this thing out and sell it as a roller

Not letting it go to waste just trying to help him get the most money for what he has.

Hes trying to get 7300, and you think he gets that w/ a bad motor? Seriously your smoking some good ****. He probably doesn't get more than 3-4k for it as it sits.

No, I said I would like to get back as much as possible, I don't expect $7300 for a car with a bad motor...

I was hoping for around 4k.

Ha... I didn't even think about calling you Marcus... sorry dude!

Just this morning you were saying something like... "That car is me man!"

Ryan, sorry for your crappy luck man. Been there done that got the scars.

Good Luck in the New Year bud.
