You would get about a Grand... over 100k think $800

You better not be thinking about quitting again. I do not live far.. I will slap you.

not too long ago you were thinking about parting out your car... then selling it... then keeping it... then selling it. You aren't parting out your car again are you?

the car you're reffering to is long gone, this is a completelly different car - a wrecked 85 trans am i bought for the interior, since the engine & trans are still good, i want to know what a good price would be for them,

i've bought running IROCs with 350s for $500-700, so a running 305 tpi and trans is only worth what someone is willing to pay you. I could see pulling $300 on ebay for the TPI, harness, computer, etc etc. But that motor and trans "might" be worth $100-150 each to someone but not much more than that realistically.
