1979 AMC sell it to "we buy junk" should i?

i just boght not too long ago an 1979 AMC concord 4dr sedan 6cylinder inline 4.2L engine, atuomatic trans, power steering, power locks. The car did not run, so i did some work on it and made it run with just what seams like a rod knock, cam knocking, or the bearings since i can hear most of it at the bottom back of the engine in torque converter area. i originally bought it for $250 and put about 100$ into reparing. now iam just tired of fixing it since i dont have anytime and too tired to stay up till 3am and waking up at 7am to go to school. i put an ad on penny saver http://www.pennysaverusa.com/info/showinfo.aspx?id=e000515695 but no one seams to be intrested, what if i was to sell it to like a we buy junk type of thing, how much would they give me, could it possobly at least $300 the classic car blue book value of it is $800 in fair condition, which is about where mine stands. so what do you think?

It's not in fair condition. You'll be lucky to get $300.
If you have a major knock from a rod or bearing, it is not in fair condition. That would be considered poor condition. I would list it on ebay motors for a starting price of $100 with a $300 reserve. You might be surprised at what it sells for. I listed a junker Ford Maverick that way and it sold for $1600. Good luck. - Gary
junk value is about $100-$250 ebay you can get your $300 but you will be spending $100 to list it and if you have 0 feedback you wont get as much as some one with like 10 or more feedback (positive feedback) but i would sell it on ebay or just keep trying the papers or even call a junk yard and see how much they would give you for it
