I disagree, after joining facepage to sell some junk...err...parts I have come to realize that the more trashed the car is the more it's worth, at least to a fair amount of flippers that hang there.Nothing kills value more, then a car in primer
You might be sitting on it for awhile, bought many beaters like that, drove them for year or 2 while cleaning them up and pretty much break even on them. Nothing kills value more, then a car in primer.
Yeah... caught a quick glimpse in the vid where it looks intact and maybe decent inside. I don't expect much from the 331. He mentions scat, but I'm thinking likely cast, and I'm pretty sure he said that he assembled it, which if he knew he was gonna dump it on the market doesn't bode well.Other thing that can happen is buy it and put a little into it then put it up for sale and either someone that possess the painting back will pick it up and then flip it again or someone will buy it and part it out and double their money depending on how that 331 was built, what trans is in it, and it appears (but hard to really see) that the interior is in decent shape.
In my area that would be bought by one of 4 people but not before throwing low balls at him, then it would be parted out with them asking the 3500 just for the long block with a B.S song and dance about it being fresh, never beat on etc... As a whole car in that condition its worth about the asking price, I've bought many like it, and if I include my labor I sold them all at a loss, but there toys to me, not a side hustle. They where used as cars and cleaned up while being driven.I disagree, after joining facepage to sell some junk...err...parts I have come to realize that the more trashed the car is the more it's worth, at least to a fair amount of flippers that hang there.
those parts are cheap now with China manufacturing, Car I picked up some years ago was a forged 347 with e7 heads on it, A flipper bought it to take parts off and resell. But P heads are not that uncommon these days. Fan looks like a flex a lite, they Suck, I have 4 of those knock off intakes kicking around for the same reason, there the only thing left that's dirt cheap besides an explorer intake,, ugly but they work for plenty of combos once you clean them up. Besides if its staying a driver once it gets to the point of needing a roll bar it stops being a cheap fun hobby toy in my experience.Still some things confuse me about the car. It's not all bad. For example, the '93 Cobra MC & boost controller, though it's still a 4-lug & most likely has rear drums. Then, there's the 3G alternator. That's good, but I'm not too sure about that electric fan. I don't recognize it, and regarding OEM, the only ones I know to trust are Mark VII/VIII, contour, & taurus fans. Also, who does a 331 and slaps GT40 heads on it? The Typhoon being a knock-off RPM has always soured me to them. So, I'm not expecting big things from the motor.
Right?! The guy has the grit to get through a 93 Cobra booster install, as evidenced by the pics he took with the old booster & MC on the ground, but somehow stops short of putting the belt on? I don't think so. Bad accessory, squeeling idler pulley, leaky water pump, or a misalignment... Something is going on there.The belt being off makes me ask why, there dirt cheap, hell I probably have 5 old ones in the garage that would fit perfect from swapping them out for the green fleet belts.
