1980 Pontiac LeMans Station Wagon - G-T-faux (stuck with it, and can't shake it... like a bad case of herpes)

Wagon is sweet but I get the desire to move on. The parts on it are worth more to you than the money you'd get out and you have a home.
Tough to justify a family hot rod when the TBSS and hellkitty are both pretty friendly.
If lean roller. Not sure up north but $10k seems a bit rich (but I don't know how nice the car is really), I got $3500 for my century roller and was happy, but I didn't try milking every dollar out and the sale was really fast and hassle free.

$3500 US is about $4500 CDN for those watching at home.
You guys have 10 times the population and 100 times less salt. The pickings are slim up here which is why I had to import this one as an incomplete roller from Kansas. I have about $5000 wrapped up in import and transport charges alone.
I spent a pretty penny piecing together the odds and ends to make it more complete, plus a lot of spares are included. And then, assuming it's of any importance to the prospective buyer there is all of the work done to mini-tub it etc.
Anyway, it's a long winter... and the Monte needs bodywork first. LOL.
I get it it's just sad such a cool well built car will die
Wow! After Turna was sent packing with his Malibu, your Wagon became my favorite car here. (It was always a super close second anyway. 😁) But, I understand your situation and I'm much in the same boat, way too many cars (8) for how much I actually drive. This past summer was the first year in about 10 that I had everything licensed, insured and ready to go at any time. One of them only went out twice and another about five times.
Good luck with however you end up moving forward.

And..... How long ago was that? A $3500/4500 buy-in 10yrs ago doesn't buy the same exact car today.
I don't think the 10k roller is out of bounds. A clean example in a place where they are limited? Worth more. The exterior is in good shape & extra parts (hard to find parts even better) included? Worth more. Room for extra tire girth & suspension upgrades? Worth more.
Lack of a drivetrain will work against you for a probable majority of buyers. If it comes down to that, you can always be on the lookout for a take-out LS/4l60 to possibly use as a build-to-suit sale.
Bummer to hear you will either sell or dismember it but I'm sure it will go to a loving home. Being relatively new to wagons the market for them is definitely different than for the coupes. Enough people (ok, all guys) like them but way less than guys looking for a Monte, Malibu or Regal and many less to pick from especially clean or well built, the rough hacked up wagons pop up here and there.
Skip option 2, that will be more of a pita than what it will be worth imo. Do you really want the LS1? Personally, I'd be happy to see that money pit disappear.
And don't give John Q Public too much credit, there is an excellent chance of finding someone to cough up $30+k for this - cars are going for stupid money, at least around here. The LS1 will be a fabulous selling point to one of those types.
It would b see nice to see it go to someone that would run it.

Ya'll need to chill. A brother is trying to make a deal here.... damn....
