If he rodded it, a grand is a fair price. You don't know what else could have been warped/torn up due to racing. Could start as an engine swap and lead to redoing bushings, mounts, suspension, electronics..
He'd be better off parting it out if he wanted something more out of a rolling chassis with 160K on it. If it were say.. 80K I could see 2K coming out of it.
