I sold my 455 olds running, complete with trans with a rattle can rebuild 6 years ago for $250. It sat for MONTHS on CL.

They come up for sale for $200-600 in MN/ND/IA for me every month or so. Winter is slower.

In the LS world we live in these days, the demand is down and most need a rebuild so the real answer is not much unless its a 68-70 ish with good heads. Smog era stuff near the lower end of the price range.

I bought a 68 and 69 Toro complete 30 years ago for $500. The 69 ran and the 68 rolled over. I put the 69 (after rebuild) in my 79 Cutlass and am still sitting on a 68 455 with a forged crank. They both came with the big C heads.

That was 30 years ago when everything was cheap , Muncie transmissions were probably 100$ then lol

I parted out the Toro's and made a few grand on the deal. One of the best deals I ever made. 👍

Nothing wrong with that at all

I paid $30 for this '72 in October. Probably a useable core.

Paid $100 for this 425 last summer. I bet it'd run if I put a kit in the carb.
There was a TH425 bolted to it.

And last winter I bought this disassembled 455 minus the cracked block. Came with a Lunati cam, Performer intake, C heads, roller rockers, and a 2nd set of almost new pistons. IIRC I paid $150 for the pile. Maybe it was $100. Can't remembernow.

Olds stuff isn't super common around here. Prices vary dramatically.
