he claims the frames and floor are solid. I have yet to see it, but I was going to replace the frame with detroid speed parts anyways.
how much do you think I could sell the 350 and the 4 speed for?

Depends on condition.
Stock 350's go for $200-$500 depending on mileage/heads/cam..etc..etc...
Depends on the 4-speed as well, an m21 rock crusher is going to go for a lot more than a busted up one. I'd ask to drive it first.
Claiming the floors and body are solid is one thing... them ACTUALLY being solid is another. Check for yourself and see if he'll let you throw a magnet on the car to see how much bondo it's got. Crawl under the car too to see the frame. Don't take his word for it.

meh. the car guy here with cars wants $6300 for a 78 trans am that's smashed up. as far as im concerned $1500 is good. It has fuel delivery problems or whatever. I was going to rebuild the engine then sell it, not sell it as is.

I just sold a fully built carb to pan 355 that I dyno tuned with 450hp and 450tq and only got $3k for it. Carb'd motors just aren't worth that much anymore.

I figure for 1500 even if I have to replace the floors I'll still be in the green because the cars anyone else is selling here they want above 5 grand
Apparently it's only gunna be $600 to ship it by truck, and the reason it has fuel problems is cuz the guy didnt upgrade the fuel pump when the engine was upgraded? so that saves me money I guess, and the transmission was rebuilt, its just not hooked up.
