What should I do with my car?

So, i hate the worst ******** day.

First I replaced the Temperature Switch on my car which was easy and took about 2 minutes. Then i moved on to replace the thermostat because it was acting up (or at least form what i gathered it was acting up...). So I get the one bolt off fine. Then the second bolt was a pain in the balls i spent like 3 hours trying to get it off. Just when I think it is off, the bolt breaks. Now, there is barely, if any, antifreeze in the engine because i drained the radiator and resevoir completely, and I couldn't see any coolant in the block. (I was planning on flushing the system.) So now, being that it is cold out, I have a feeling the block might crack. Even if it doesnt, to get the bolt drilled and tapped will probably be 500-1000$ just because of where it is. It would have to be towed to a shop. The intake plenum would have to come off and whatever else to get to it. I really don't want to put that kind of money into the engine JUST to replace the thermostat.

So, what should i do with the car? Try and sell it as a roller? What do you think I could get for it being a roller? its a 95 camaro. has 188k miles. Tranny is in decent shape, doesnt really grind or anything. No mods or anything have been done.
