    Those guys bidding are pretty brave considering the seller has zero feedback. Seems shady...

  2. its in the middle of so-cal. I am shocked its still for sale honestly. I know 20 people that could drive to his house in ten minutes.
    no way is that item*********. Middle of Iowa, sure, right here.... I doubt it.

    somebody on here must know who this guy is.

    I resent that "middle of Iowa" slam. We all think the west coast guys are shady. Nothin' but honest folk here.

    Don't know how "shady" it is but the auction write-up is a little too "lawyer-like" to be comin' from a guy with no feedback. Gettin' into a discussion about who (by state) is more likely to rip you off is like discussing politics with your wife, an argument with no winner!

    I think he is saying if it were 250 miles away from anyone , out in the middle of a cowpatch , near a farmbelt , somewhere that would take a GPS to find . . . that would seem shady . not IOWA in particular [​IMG]

  6. I only accept US postal money orders as payment. Unless you contact me before you bid and I agree to other forms of payment.

    That's not unusual, and Postal Money Orders give you the benefit of Postal Fraud charges if they scam you.

    I knew he was joking, and so was I.

    By the way, in Iowa you can't go 2.5 miles let alone 250 miles and not be near someone. Iowa ain't that remote. You want to see remote go up where Tman lives.

    And Mutt, I agree Postal Money Orders are the best. For both parties.

  9. Iowa is the only other state I can spell, my point is simply that there are way too many people that could just drive over there and check it out.

    I wish it was mine

    Daaaamn, homie, I knew they were pricey, but not THAT pricey... cant you get a "new" ardun conversion for like $3k??


    What I cant figure out, is which holes the pushrods go thru... wait, never mind, I see it now, the conversion uses the existing exhaust valve. duh.

    Damn, for that much $, ya think he'd throw in the intake manifold?
     
  11. Ardun is 12-15 K I think.

    If it's legit it might not be a bad deal, but would want see the parts before throwin' away that kind of $$$. New production 2 & 4 ports go for around $3500.
