426 for sale I must be missing something

[Aero426]

Everyone has dreams.

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

He had a 300H for sale for insane money not long ago.

I'll take 5 of them at that price. 
Has anyone told him it's only worth maybe 10K running ?

While the guys price is nuts, a complete 426 core with all the right 1970 bits, carbs, exhaust manifolds can get pricey to the right person.

Zackly.  If I had the rig it came out of I'd have little problem giving what he's paid in storage for it plus the original $2k.  







I wonder why that motor sat so long before it was put in a car?  Cast on May 28, 1969.  The last #s of the VIN 226532 look like it was built in May '70.  90 day window on the blocks after cast right?

The VIN looks to be an entire year past the cast date.  The partial VIN on the oil pan rail looks legit too?

My favorites lines of this listing are....

"For the Serious Investors Only"

Really, no shit...they must be serious...or seriously insane to pay that much

"After long hours of consideration I have decided to offer serious buyers an opportunity to become the next owner."

Gee, thanks for the opportunity, and those long hours of consideration

"I am interested in Nevada or Wyoming Ranch land as a trade."

How many square feet?  

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

 Now that's really stupid....a non refundable deposit just to LOOK AT IT!!!  Apparently he expects someone to shell out $150,000 based on pictures alone?

It reminds me of another 426 Hemi that is currently sitting in a barn a few hours east of me.
The owner is adamant about getting $20,000 for it, even though it will likely have to be rebuilt again, and has already been bored a few times.
Yes, I'd like to have it. No, I won't pay that much.
Crazy.

Not in my world.

The 1966 426 hemi block we have has RAMCHARGERS stamped underneath it, maybe i will list it on Ebay too,   I'll start the bidding at some stupid price and offer to trade for some land in Key West because coming into work today at 10 degrees is getting old !

Its a cruel 'DOG EAT DOG' WORLD FOR HEMI GUYS!!!

I heard a guy with a Hemi Daytona had to pay $50,000 to buy his numbers matching engine back!
He's laughing now as it put $100,000 on the value, he reckons!!!

[GOTWING]

I'm glad that numbers do not have to match on 1966 hemi cars then. that's in our favor 

[Ghoste]

Adds 100k to the value?  In his mind or did someone actually offer him that much more for it?
