Default flooded 2000 Trans Am

Anyone interested in buying a flooded car? It had water up to the center console. It was parked outside the house when the flood hit and the engine has not been started yet. The air filter is dry and there was no water in the oil. The car has 141000 miles but the drivetrain is newer. It has an LME forged 347 with 27,000 miles, AFR 205s, 224/228 cam, kooks headers, LS6 intake, catted Y, Magnaflow catback. Also it has a T56 rebuilds transmission and an ls7 clutch with 27,000 miles on each. As far as other mods it has bilsteins all around, adjustable phb, 35/22 Eibach swaybars, HID projector headlight conversion. It has y2k corvette replica rims, 17", 9.5" wide front and 10.5" rear. It has 2 year old yokohama 275's on the back and brand new GSD3 255s on the front. I don't think I'm going to have the time or means to part it out or repair it since I'm military and moving soon. Let me know if anyone's interested, I'm talking to the insurance company on Monday about buying it back or not.

Edit: fixed the mods list, y-pipe is Kooks ORY with cats welded in. Added pictures from engine swap and HID install. Also the insurance company hasn't gotten me a buy back price yet so sorry to keep you guys waiting. Even if they call me tomorrow it will still be a few days until I have the car back at my house.

Edit: also has Harland Sharp mod to stock rockers. Has 4.10s in the stock 10 bolt. Engine has wiseco pistons with valve reliefs, callies rods, main studs, ARP head studs, cometic gaskets, AFR 205s milled to 62cc. Build sheet added to pictures.

Edit: Insurance needs 3000 to buy it back from them. Starting price is $5000

Sorry to keep everyone waiting, I don't have a price yet. The insurance company had a little mix up and I won't get a buyback price until tomorrow. When I get an asking price I'll post it in the top thread and anyone who's still interested just send another pm. I think that's the most fair way.

Ok, just spoke with the insurance company. It's going to cost me 3000 to get the car back from them. If anyone is willing to pay 5000 please pm me. If there's no interest I will drop the price but probably not below 4000, then I'll just let the insurance company keep it.
