He said he was going to try this weekend so hopefully he can get me some decent photos of it. I told him if not then I'd try to make it over there one day this week to help him. He's about an hour away from me so it's not easy to just pop over there. When it happens I'll report back here with findings.

I'll second Doug's comments. We are having a discussion to sell a 40k engine, and no one involved will spend $30?

It's not my decision, but think it is appropriate to kill this thread.

Greg, I see you understand the rules and knowingly posted a for sale ad in a non classified forum. This is very unfair to our contributing members. I was aware and had hoped you would have become a contributing member, but after 6 days you feel you are entitled and don't need to follow the rules.

I have no choice but to remove your post. This site has well established and has maintained a membership of serious hobbyist, historians, restorers, service providers and collectors.

I will be removing it shortly. If you do sell it from the site no need to send any money!!

Okay I'm out! Please delete my account.

What account?

Not for nothing, but $30 is a VERY VERY small price to pay for having the ability to list an item worth thousands. I completely understand if the site isn't devoted to what you collect....but the item you are hoping to sell... is.

Personally I'd have looked at the $30 as no different than a "listing fee."

Whether your intention was to alienate people or not...IMO that is what you did.

Hopefully the owner of the car and the engine are able to make a deal...but based on this thread...I'd expect that to be a difficult process.

It’s wild to me that someone is so opposed to letting go of $30.

Greg no longer wanted to be a member which I accomodated. What is more important is reuniting this engine with the COPO. The owner of the COPO has been notified and hopefully he will make contact with the engine owner. Also if anyone needs contact information LMK and will, provided you are the COPO owner or represent the owner.

I am leaving this thread up to help reunite the engine & COPO.

On account of him not wanting to pay anything. :burnout:

I guess I am wrong, but I thought the sight allowed in the past one time FOR SALE posts without membership for just this situation ?

I guess we should probably be thankful that the guy skirted the rules and posted anyway. Another COPO car my get it’s original engine.

I think we may miss out on some rare cars/parts if the site does not allow one time posts.
