that looks like it's been sitting for more than a couple years...i'm sure it's stuck , and maybe has some hard water problems too i'm just amazed what people will say in their discriptions on ebay..who do they think they are fooling?....i have actual sean this phrase a few times on ebay..."it was bought new by the original owner"...
It has been degreased and sure is clean maybe bead blasted . Just kiding Will it turn over . Good one to save John
That's a good one... yeah, I'm sure it was running when parked, but I don't think that's going to sell you sell it more now. The moss on the transmission I think makes it even funnier.
Well, the only thing I can say about it positive is that it is a 59L engine. Factory relieved, higher content of nickel.
I bought a 56 Olds like that. The old guy said it ran great when he parked it in 61. I pulled the dipstick and it was full of oil, so for $100 bux I couldn't loose, right? When I pulled the motor I figured it would be a good time to drain the old oil out of it. I pulled the drain plug and water started pouring out! It just kept coming and coming, finally some black old oil started to come out. Well needless to say the engine was junk. The oil was floating on top of the water, when I pulled the dipstick the oil stuck to it. I bet that flatty is in the same shape!
The fun part is the opening bid doesn't meet his reserve. Never pay more than a hundred on a flatty block till it's been checked for cracks. I don't care what model it is. Word to the wise.
did anyone notice the shipping and handleing? Shipping and handling: US $10.00 (within United States) Buyer pays for all shipping costs Shipping insurance: Not offered Will ship to United States only. That must be what he wants to put it on a pallet.
