I'm just glad they valued a running complete 440 at $500 (cdn!), a very realistic price. I never would have guessed $1k for a rimblow steering wheel, glad I don't need one.
You don’t get a good running 440 steel crank for 500 somewhere else you pay at least $1500-2000I'm just glad they valued a running complete 440 at $500 (cdn!), a very realistic price. I never would have guessed $1k for a rimblow steering wheel, glad I don't need one.
No, I get RV 440's with trans that have @70bigblockdodge's bands I still need to send his way. But people are starting to ask $1000-1200 for a complete core, RV engine, stupid. There's a guy selling a rebuilt 440 '68 or '69, for $4500, but it's been sitting for years now. Still stupid money.You don’t get a good running 440 steel crank for 500 somewhere else you pay at least $1500-2000
IMHO, the Chrysler became a parts car a long time ago. While everyone says "it should be saved", it's a rare person that steps up, buys the car and dumps $$$ into a restoration, especially when you could buy something much nicer for not a lot more.
While I wouldn't let the hulk go to the demo guys (just 'cause), I wouldn't hesitate to use it to save a couple other C-bodies.
He might be a good guy, but the demo guys that I've encountered aren't in that league."Demo Dave" to whom @Tobias74 refers to is very good about saving engines/trans/trim/windshields and just about anything he can from any cars he derbies. He is a great source of parts for several makes and usually only derbies basket cases. I would not hesitate to buy parts from a guy like that that at least respects the dead. He is like the undertaker.....necessary evil.
Fore sure WollfenI feel like this is all my fault, all I did was comment on getting stick for scrapping mostly dead cars. Sorry Tobias and Dereck, now, do I get any freebies?
I mean I could see parting a nicer car worthy of maybe being a driver for Polara, Monaco or 300...but for a couple lowly Plymouths?
Ah, finally a self portrait of critter.
