I think so, rust is the difference maker.  I am supposed to look at it for my friend Rich who posts on this board as Motorman7.  A close inspection will determine if that price is right...no rust you are right in there.

Still interested?

Do you have any paper work on who built the engine?  The right engine builder could add a lot of value.

Also, if the engine has no miles on it, it might be best not to get it tuned.  The engines are very durable once they're broken in, but they occasionally will destroy some parts during break-in.  If you have the paperwork about the rebuild that might be enough for a new owner to take on the risk.

I went through something similar recently and got caught in a loop of breaking new things as I was fixing other things.  Finally got to a stable point and left a few things "as-is" for the new owner.

If you create an @ symbol then type the name of a member right after it you'll get a drop-down of member names.  They'll get sent a notification.  Like this  @Montezuma

@PaulaTB When can I see it so I can report back to @motorman7 about it?

[PaulaTB]

Anytime.  I am in Seattle.  My good friend is helping facilitate the sale.

The mechanic is waiting for me to advise him as to whether or not to proceed with the repairs.

Some folks have advised me NOT to have the engine tuned.

So do you want me to hold off on the repairs till you see it?

Is it ok for me to call you?

Hello ZedHed

it was a Datsun mechanic that did the rebuild.  Yes he has the paperwork

i am struggling navigating this wesite

yhey don't make it easy!!

where do I put the @ symbol.  

 

[PaulaTB]

Shall I put the Z on the classified site ?

having trouble with the home screen

"personal address"

 

[Zed Head]

The key to the @ symbol is to type the first few letters of the person you want to notify right after the symbol.  No space.  Sometimes it takes a second for the dropdown menu.  @Montezuma

If you don't want to add your address, just type in 111 fake address on fake street in faketown, USA.  That's what I do.  You could also just add For Sale to the title of this thread.  It will catch some eyes.
