if it's a TII i'd say definantly go for it, NA is prolly even worth it if theres no rust and everything works and looks nice, if the paint really doesn't matter to you, i'd say its worth it

Tell them put the engine in and get it running first, if you're willing to pay that kinda money...unless we're talking Canadian $?

The shell isn't worth more than $500, period.

The shell + motor on the side, I wouldn't pay more than $1000 - you're looking at a lot of labor to get the engine installed and running.

$2300 is way too much.

All dollar values are in US $.
