Its worth scrap price. I bet the owner would LOVE to get $500 for it.

i would pay $500 for it, then strip it down and go over everything and rebuild it. soup it up.

i sold my flooded 1998 van for $400 with 140k+ miles, so dont pay more then $300 for that car

otherwise if it was off when it was flooded, you just have to let it dry, check engine, intake, drain exhaust and hope it works.

even if it ran after drying out there will be problems soon as wire rot sets in and corrosion sets in there will be many more problems, my parents live a few miles from me in a flood prone area and they have had 4 cars flooded and none have come back working correct hell I drove mine through deep water by there place and had starter issues for a good week!

If your planning to use it as a daily driver dont even waste your time. Now if your just gonna sell parts off of it i wouldnt pay more than 500 for it.

I wouldnt. I can buy a '75 Vette but it got soaked to the bone down in FL, I'll pass.
