...and it makes no sense why mrs. purse strings can't get her head around buying this.


this whole stupid thread should just be deleted.  the only people who can't see the logic here are named Edwards.


Logic doesn't replace cash on hand. Plus, I am kinda pigheaded also. If some a$#hole bid on that motor just to hold it for ransom like he is, I would be stubborn enough to let him eat it. I'd just wait until he kicked the bucket and then buy it from his wife, who will most likely want to see all the "car junk" gone.

And I beleive I read that someone thinks they "owe it" to the next owner to buy this motor. Seems to me this guy will still have this motor if and when that ever happens. Isn't this about the third time he has listed this thing?

Another solution for one of you people concerned with this is to buy the motor and wait til the car goes up for sale. Seems you would get a 500 cheaper because it isn't numbers matching and add about $10,000 to the value of it just by pulling it to your place because you have the numbers matching motor. :Twocents:



this thread is eight pages long, and you obviously didn't read/comprehend much of it.

Seems the older we get (DC) and of course the two of us - the more impatient - we become.  It becomes increasingly difficult to read pages and pages of type.  Ho - Hum seems at least the 'general' has it right.   :2thumbs:

oops!  I forgot - Frank (guy with the motor) seems to wan to see pics of the car and a price  :popcrn: :yesnod: Now do ya really think he'll really buy it?   And then drop the motor in it and resell on e-bay for lets say 6 figures :drool5:  and the yarn goes on ---- :cheers:

Just so you know, I am the one who got this freight train going. I found the block for sale and pm'd Paul (PocketThunder) to see if it was his block. My next step would have been to pm Danny or Stuart to keep it under the radar. Paul started the thread instead and this is where it is at. Oh well. I will give you that I have not checked up on this thread in a while though, so maybe I should reread it.

I will contact the seller and see IF a deal can be worked out... I won't give his asking price, but will pay more than the block is worth as "just" a 1969 440 block...  A lot depends on what I can find out about the condition of the block, there were claims & denials about the condition (.060 over, etc), but I do not know who to believe...

BTW, Rick E. previously gave his go-ahead to buy the motor... see attachment below.

Stuart - Thanks for the well wishes.  I was totally tied up with work late last year, working 11-12 hours days for a while.  Last year sucked for me and many of my friends, so on New Year's Eve I bought myself a new toy to get 2009 off to a better start... see attached pictures.

I hope I can buy the block, but think the chances of agreeing on a price with the seller are only 50/50...

Hello Allen,

Just wondering if that new toy in the garage will be in St. Louis this September? Looks like something you and a old buddy from Iowa might take for a few laps around the track.   :lol: Oh ya old Aero cars only on the track. Maybe we could be the pace car.  ;D Probably not a good idea on second thought. OK we'll just take it when we go out to eat and reminisce on Saturday night. Seriously very nice.

I thought that might get a reaction. Well at least you knew who it was. I'm planning on St. Louis. One things for sure it will be faster than our usual golf cart.
