ever see such a good deal that you just know you either need to buy it or get a friend too jump on the bargain, at a yard sale, you just know the person either has no clue what they are selling or theres something drastically wrong you just failed to spot.
well a friend calls me up and tells me hes at a garage sale where a guys moving, because he lost his job, and he has a car trailer in his garage with 6 stock engines in various conditions ,
hes been hoarding ,sitting on the car trailer, that he wants to sell fast and cheaply.
4 0f the 6 engines are just short block assembles, two don,t even have oil pans.
now Im basically broke (NATURALLY IF A DEAL LIKE THIS COMES UP) but I go over and look, the guys car trailer is a dual axle trailer with wooden runners where the wheels roll, and the metal works slightly rusted and obviously 10 plus years old,the trailers in a bit ragged shape but serviceable, the tags several years out of date and theres 6 ford v8 engines, most look like older 429-460 engines.
I make a few quick cell phone calls to friends that have fords and now I have one guys whos a friend, thats into fords, whos interested, he talks to the guy, tells him hes basically broke but will offer $1200, for the trailer and engines in a combo deal. and he walks off with the whole deal for $1200 , 6 stock engines in who knows what condition and a trailer, he can hardly go wrong here as just the trailer once cleaned up and painted should easily sell for that price.
