What caused the piston to seize? No oil? May need to supply some details but, if that is the case, you'll need a whole new motor which could cost about $1500 to redo....

I'd offer $1200 for it.

Then I'm sure the damage is far more severe then just a siezed piston, it just didn't run long enough for the trans to lock up.

I enjoy a good project, I buy lots of blown up junk but I wouldn't give 2 grand for it.
