yeah, you are grounding out a hot. not only that, but the intermitten problem of everything working and then when you turn the car on it stops working sounds like a bad ground to the fuse box (?) or somewhere along that line.

fix the car. too often i see guys who are using f-bodies as DDs get frustrated with the car when they can't fix it themselves and end up selling it. only after selling it will you realize how much you really dig the car. so, stop fooling around and start chasing ground wires.

even if you were to sell it, no one would give you what you think th car is worth. it's only 20 years old, so it's not old enough to be a classic, yet it's old enough that some of the 'built-in'mechanical and electrical problems are going to start appearing.

that said, if you get in a bind and have to bail out, i will give you $500 for it as it stands, sight unseen.
