Blue Book is around $10K. Any sane buyer will assume that the engine is completely destroyed. $4K-6K for a donor engine replacement. Buyer is taking all of the risk because there is often many more things wrong with a car when the engine doesn't run. Therefore expect $3000-$4500 for the rolling chassis with the damaged engine as-is. If you can get more, consider yourself lucky.
