Is it worth anything to rebuild you mean? If you have any mods you should sell them.

I'd be interested in depo headlights, running boards (aluminum), and a front skid plate, maybe black leather sport seats.

If you happen to have a set of style 168 wheels on it I'd be interested.

I would think it depends on the condition of the body and the interior....shouldn't be hard to find a good used motor for a 3.0....5 speeds are rather rare..

My 2006 350Z blew it's 12k monster stroker (built after Nissan's poorly designed VQ35DE #2 died) Having had enough and after being offered less than it's mods were worth, I got a 1k motor from eBay and traded it in for my X5.

I'd get a cheap motor and sell, trade, etc it.

+1.

You can only expect around 1/3 book value (tops) when selling a car a vehicle with a blown motor.

Buyer has NO idea what else will be wrong with it when he gets it running (trans/TC/diffs/suspension/brakes/electronics).

Most owners won't get a basket case running because of all the other issues, they hope a fool comes along and ASSUMES everything else is good.
