Is this a steal?

As some of you know, I'm looking to do a RWD swap on my grand prix with a GM powerplant. Well, I have a line on getting a totalled 2000 SS camaro with a 6-speed for around $1500. No typo, $1500. It was hit in the front and is totalled, pretty much from the radiator support forward is a loss. Also it was nicked on the drivers rear corner, mostly cosmetic damage.
All I need out of this car is the LS1, trans, K-member and maybe some misc stuff like the steering rack. How much money do you guys think I can reasonably make from selling off the other stuff? It's got the 17" SS wheels in perfect condition that I don't need, stock rear axle I don't need, full interior I don't need, T-tops, mirrors, doors, all the glass, and anything else I'm missing. Let me know ASAP guys. I need to justify to my Pops spending the money for the car.

if yo have the space and time to break it for parts, i'd reckon if you did it properly you'd get at least $800-1,000 for the parts. maybe more.

I think it would be well worth your time. There are a ton of small parts you can sell out of that thing... Ebay it up.

Well, it looks like I delayed a few hours too many and the car has been bought from under me. I'm sooo pissed, it was going to be a huge jumpstart on my project. Like, huge huge, moving up the schedule by a year or more.
Edit: Someone is driving from twice as far and paying him twice as much as he said he'd sell it to me for. Does anyone know if a big F-body reseller/parts depot is in Kentucky? I'm really unhappy about this. I should have sent him the money yesterday.
