[V8] How much are they worth? <> Depends

[jpb3]

Unfortunately the resale on these cars is not gonna put a smile on your
face.  I am sure there are others here that might have a little more
experience with selling a V8, or maybe some that have just purchased one
that could give you a more realistic current market value, but I would say
you'd be lucky to get $3000.00 from what I have seen lately.  How decent is
the body and paint?

I am going down a different path however, my V8 has 124K on it and runs
good, although I haven't really driven it for about 8 months.  I am putting
it up on stands this weekend to get a TB & RMS job underway.  I need to do
it ASAP in order to be able to sell my GMCTruck this Spring.  I am putting
the beast back on the road b/c I hate making car payments, and 18-20mpg
better than the 14-15 I get with the truck.

Good Luck!
