also it runs pretty decent i think one of the jets are stopped up but it stills runs like a charm it will kick sideways poppin into second when u get on it even on dry pavement. o i forgot to mention it has a race shift kit in it. what kind i do not kno but i had a reciept somewhere from the installation of it but i dont kno where it is. it was B&M if im not mistaken but my friend has the exact same car just better lookin and mine shifts way harder than his does when we get on the gas

L98 (350) was the closest thing to a real perfomance engine these cars came with with the exception of the TTA turbo V6 motors.

If it runs nicely then why not keep it and fix it up as you can afford to? You almost NEVER get back what you put into these cars, so long term you either keep and drive it till the wheels come off or you fix it up as you can afford to.

But for dollar spent these cars are the best bang for your buck out there

I'd say you could get 2500-3000 for it give or take.
Good luck

i bet you anything that the 97 s10 (even 4 banger) will get the same city mileage as your bird in top tune...keep the bird.

that bird seems like it has some decent options. You could prolly get a few grand at least.

FYI, you also have slp runners on your car. as for mpg, a 2.2l s10 can get 38mpg(my brother had a few of them) and my gta got 28mpg before the cam swap, and that was with a th350 3 speed.
