What's an LT1 worth?
 

What's up guys? My dad has a '97 LT1 with only 19,000 miles on it, but it has spun 2 rod bearings. What would be a reasonable price on that?

youd probably be better off tearing it apart and selling the parts...

How does a car with 19,000 miles spin two rod bearings?

^^^^^What he said...

Simple.. The owner didn't give two shits about the car

What kind of person could be that cruel to such a low mileage car? :cry: The OPs dad must be a real winner if that's the case. :lol:

Same as any core LT1. ~$300

Oh geez.....:chuck-bal

Jeebus what a short life :(

$hit i give $300 for a complete,intake to oilpan, all accessories, great running lt1 with 66k miles on it..

Actually, my brother worked at a GM dealership back in the late 90's and a dude bought the car new and spun the bearings. It was under factory warranty, so the service department replaced it and sold this one to my dad.

fix the car before you sell it. You will get quite a bit more even after you re coup what you spend on the rebuild. LT1's arent worth shit.

lol back b4 the internet I blew 2 motors in 27k:emb: being young and dumb with Nitrous can do bad things to a motor.

OP part the motor youll get more money.

The motor is actually rapped in plastic on a crate like it has been for 13 years.

It will be hard to sell complete since nobody can tell how bad the motor is.

Double the scrap iron value of the motor. :jest:

Spinoff: anyone want an iron headed lt1 with 233k? It actually runs though ;) no spun bearings.

I might do like Brucer said and part it out.

so is it a whole car or motor only?

Whats a rusty boat anchor worth? There is your market competition.

Just the motor.
