Busted Boss Block On Ebay...wtf

if he has all the pieces, the block is repairable if one is willing to spend the money to repair the block. where the issue comes in is how much will it take to pry the block out of the hands of the current owner, and if it is economically feasible to repair the block once one buys it. at $500 its is feasible, but it wont be if the price goes too much higher.

I suppose it could be worth it for someone NEEDING a certain date stamp for a concours build or something
really? if it is an original boss block, as suggested, it is worth a lot of money. if one could buy that block for as much as $750, and you drop that $1000 into getting the block repaired, its worth about $2000 or so. not to mention that it would be a good block to build a solid motor on.
That's pretty much what it's only use is for.
I've seen people throw crazy money into a car in the name of originality. One of my closest friends in my car club is a fanatic about keeping his cars original, has a '65 Mustang, '56 Thunderbird, a 70s MG, and a '69 Olds 442. He won't modify anything on any of them, the cars are all new-old-stock, repaired original, or reproduction of original parts from bumper-to-bumper with the exception of the radial tires and modern oil filters. If he needed this block to have one of his cars correct, he's the kind that would buy it, and spend the money to have all the work done to it to make it functional again. Another guy in my car club had an old Ford flathead block with similar damage fixed and has that engine running in his '40 Ford right now.
