The question of value
Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2014 4:22 pm
I realize fully that values are rather subjective and can vary with region.
What I would like to determine is a fair value of a serviceable 1071 S motor.
What should I expect to pay for such items?
At the minimum that would include block, head, pistons, crank, rods, cam.
It may or may not include a gearbox, dizzy, intake & carbs.
I am interested in the the thoughts of others here on this question as to a reasonable expected range realizing also that specific specs can play a role in this as well.
Like all long time car enthusiasts I have 'scored' a deal or three over the decades and have seen items fetch stupid prices but I tend to throw out the extremes on both ends figuring the real truth and fair value lies somewhere in between.
