X2!!!!!!!!!!

[Mytur Binsdirti]

That's been for sale a few times.

[skip68]

 .  WTF? ?  That wouldn't be worth that if it was in a beautifully restored car.   Bin $150K.  Holy hell.   

[ws23rt]

Everything is for sale.    Some things actually sell
I suspect their are many engines like this hiding in sheds.
Met a guy in the eighties that had 13 of them sitting on specially build shelves. Several had holes in the side and none were for sale. This engine has moved people in many odd ways.

Judging by the current mopar engine pricing, I believe I will sell my wedge engines.  Comparing to this hemi I believe I will ask $20,000.00 for a running iron head 440.  Better hurry for a chance at this deal!!!   

[Patronus]

You know they legalized that shit right? 

[hemi68charger]

It is amazing what is still out there...........

Ummmmm.......

you're not missing anything, the seller is missing their mind!

This guy is pretty slick.

What better way to attract attention to the engine he wants to sell ?

Thousands of people around the world are talking about:

"That crazy dumbass that wants $150 K for that old Hemi on ebay."

The link to his ebay auction is getting posted on every old car forum there is.

He knows he'll never get it...

He's just waiting for that call or e-mail from the one guy that "Gets" it and asks:

Ok...

So, how much do you really want for it. ?

I will not allow visual inspection unless I receive a substantial amount of earnest deposit of which there is no refund.

I like this part myself!  Yeah, here's a check for 150 grand for an engine that I can't even rest my eyes upon!

[bakerhillpins]

   The way it sounds from reading it the 150k includes the $24k he spent on storage over 40 years. 

Pricing aside, his story of the engine's history is interesting. Can someone explain this to stupid old me:

At the request of the original seller I removed the heads so that he could check ring wear of which there was none. I realize now this was stupid, but not long after the inspection he wanted to buy the engine back. What can you expect out of a 19 or 20 year old kid.

So what's the big deal with pulling the heads off? Is he suggesting that he didn't get the originals back?  He says it's going to need rebuilt so you have to pull the heads anyhow..

[Cncguy]

I can't believe no visual inspection is allowed without money down

[GOTWING]

You are correct,  everyone is posting this ridicules listing, I just did.

[Ghoste]

Maybe he dropped one of the heads on his own head. 

[Old Moparz]

Everyone has dreams.

His other auctions are interesting, I like this one. I'd put it on my deck to annoy my cats.

That thing has been sitting waiting for a dumbass. And people WONDER Why I call Hemi stuff "rich man's toy"...

[hatersaurusrex]

He's hoping the owner of that particular VIN will see it and come forward - if that car isn't already junk.  Unfortunately I doubt they'd pony up that amount of cabbage without a numbers transmission too.   Why pay that much for a 'nearly numbers matching' resto?  Do a crate motor and be done with it if it's not all going to match.
