I'd guess $4500-$5000 (based on the lowest new purchase price I found on them a couple of years ago, which was $6500).

Means the water jackets have been filled with whatever they use (Epoxy..Aluminum, I dont really know) to produce a solid block for strength. Could never perform (at the very least, impairs) its cooling duties for the street again.
