Delusional Motor Seller?

[hemi-hampton]

This guy reminds me of that Delusional Charger Seller's post. Only he's selling a Motor minus the car for what the car would be worth with the Motor. And he say's Motor needs a Rebuild What's this motor really worth?   LEON.

That clown relists that thing every few months. Same pictures, but with an additional layer of dust each time.

The ad provides the helpful tip

"With this information [ownership history] if you are a builder investor you may be able to put together a numbers matching car by coming up with both the engine and car otherwise"

Should be easy enough to find the original car and then you have matching numbers car.  Seems silly to not buy it and make that numbers matching 70 hemi GTX.

If you could find the needle in a haystick car, match up with the motor, suspect it is not worth the guys asking price for just the motor unless you spent $$$ on a restoration

[elks]

That guy is f@%cked

So for my $115,000 I can buy that .....or FOUR of these ...with change.....Hmmmm ....tough decision!

Its taking all my self control not to email the guy and ask him what the weather is like on his planet. Whats it really worth?....can find much comparable online.....$20K??.....that would be pushing it even at silly UK prices....I'm guessing rather less over there.

[johnnycharger]

Dang. Right around the corner and it has history in Napa too.....

[GOTWING]

must be for attention ..it worked

[ACUDANUT]

Gee, I'll take six of them at that price. 

[charger chris]

That guy is crazy. He's been trying to sell that hemi for at least 4 years that I know of. I first seen it on Facebook. I think that guy lives in Michigan.

[Challenger340]

I am sure someone out there is looking for one of those, but IMO, NOT at that price.

I think that guy may have missed that boat ?
because,
There was a period of time back in the late 80's early 90's before the advent of reproduction Blocks/Parts etc., when HEMI's and "original" pieces like his were commanding huge bucks as being irreplaceable and priceless to a beginning resto/investment crowd ? I heard of some stoopid prices paid for stuff back then.
Just NOT so anymore... even with the pressure on aftermarket Blocks being tight.

[hemi-hampton]

Seems like it would only be worth more to 1 person. The guy that still owns the car it came from & wanting to make it #'s matching. To anyone else just another motor. LEON.

[alfaitalia]

Curious to know how much a non running hemi like that would be worth in the States!

[brad mcintyre]

maybe he knows who has it and dose not like them much

I think this is likely the problem.

Could not resist any longer....sent him a link to this thread as well the one above!

[will]

They must have good drugs in Vacaville

[superbirdtom]

what should the engine be worth in the real world?

[303 Mopar]

what should the engine be worth in the real world?

$25-30k???

[alfaitalia]

Really??....Even needing a rebuild?....seems like a lot to me. Might be worth closer to that if you own the car it came from. I would far rather have the built and stroked one above for less money ...If you are not matching numbers then go for it.....where is the value in that engine?

[GOTWING]

lets see... that motor or a brand new Hellcat?  mmmmmmm I'll go with the Hellcat and restore my Charger with the change left over

There is a big demand for '69 stamped blocks, and they don't make them anymore.  Having said that, I would spend my money on a brand new (and better made) block.
