Seems like a good deal for someone.

I talked to him a good bit, sounds like a honest guy because he told me it wouldn't be worth the 6hr. drive up there. He had a few more parts there that he would give me but they are pretty well picked over and most of the good stuff has been sold or used up already.

I just spoke with the seller. Understandably, he wants to sell the entire lot and not just a motor. What an awesome guy to talk with! Someone with a lot of time to part them out could stand to make some serious cash on this deal.

Good looking out, 86T3, and thank you. justben is over 150 miles from me, and given the condition of my truck, that distance may be prohibitive. I will likely rebuild one of the 250es motors that I already own.

Wow... why can't deals like this show up near me?! They do look picked over pretty well, but still, 4 engines and 2 diffs are well worth the asking price ^.^. How is it not sold yet?!

I was wondering the same thing myself!

If it was 150 miles from me, I'd probably jump on it just because it is 4 machines, for a single machine I wouldn't put forth the effort though I have driven ~100 miles for machines before, in fact the first 3 wheeler I ever owned was ~200 miles away in a lot of 5 from ebay :D.

Anyway, what is wrong with your truck? I make trips fairly often with my old 86 Toyota pickup with 280k miles. Under the hood there is bare wire all over (insulation of the wire dry rotted), carb overflows, needs thermostat, and the windshield is barely held in by the OEM glue. Yea.. it is a work in progress lol.

My truck has developed a vacuum problem. It is sucking money out of my wallet. It only has a shade over 100k on the clock, but I rarely drive a greater distance than I know I can walk back from.

I see that the seller deleted his post. Did one of the members here buy them?

I just called the seller (today, 9/30/14). He sold the lot of Big Reds for $350. Someone got a good deal!
