I think this would be a great idea. Rob finding my motor is the best thing that has happened to me in a long long time. Maybe when they get all the bugs out of the system here and the vin registry is up and running again that can be added.

I live on long Island.I will ask around a bit.

Rob,
Let's start again with a clean slate.I think $5000.00 is a fair price for the complete motor and would love to reunite it with the car.
Just please don't tell me you have my tranny too.
I will email you soon to work out shipping etc...

Oh by the way I thought auctions were not allowed on the exchange,Only items with a price.

Sorry for the long reply I do not like mud slinging but I felt I needed to respond after his latest ethics ouestion.
Yes the current owner was notified but did not want to get in a bidding war with himself. In the 48 to 72 hrs that insued after finding out that my Kar may not have the original motor ( which threw me for a loop ) in it I was contacted by 6F09KANADA and informed him that I was indeed interested but due to some finicial hardship I might have a hard time purchasing it but to give me a price and would do all I could to make it happen even if I had to borrow money. After asking for a price numerous times I got either a depends on how much a person wants or make an offer I have alot of interest in it but no numbers.During this process I contacted the guy he bought the engine from on Ebay(cant believe I missed it)for 3000 and the story did sound legit but there are lots of scams out there and this one sound too easy. I am not a game player but he seems to be, so after this I kind of knew I was in for it. Since my motor is all correct and coded correctly I thought maybe I could just get the block to have (his motor is all apart anyway).After he agreed that he might sell just the block and still no price I threw out a low price to get the ball rolling of $2300 (block and fuel pump). Sunday after a day out I get three emails with old posts that I made on VMF where I mentioned my take on values.At the same time as I get the Emails he has posted the engine for sale.At this time I realized I was never getting this motor. I made him one final offer of 3000 which he responed "If you want it, I will need $4000 for the block and caps, you pay shipping".Unfortunately The block will not be reunited with car. Atleast at this time but it is good to know it is out there.If the next owner ever wants to sell please let me know,Things may be different.

Keep us informed. If that Kar checks out it would seem you got yourself a deal.

Hey Iowa, did you ever get to reunite the car and engine ?
mike
-
This Kar is the same as mine.Except it is done and mine is apart.
But seeing it done has inspired me to get busy this year.
Curious to see what it goes for

I have used these guys in the past and have been very happy with the results.

Without pics I would say that price seems more than fair.

I see a rebody? Thoughts?
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana" size=2 id=quote>
Rebody ? There is no body or vin, just a title.
This goes way beyond rebody.
He is making a kar.

I have also been toying with this idea.
Even though my kar did not come with one they are period correct and I believe acceptable.
What kind of HP gains are we talking about ?

Nice project.
Unless you are in a huge rush I would hold out for some choice sheetmetal.NOS if you can.Makes a big difference down the road.There are plenty of nice pieces out there.
