    For $600, the engine is worth that, if it runs. Sounds like a good deal.

    Sounds like a terrible deal to me! And being that I'm such a good samaritan I'll just come on up there and drag that junk on my trailer. Hopefully I won't lose too much money on it but I really don't want to see my Maverick friends get taken advantage of like that. Just pm the location of the car. I'll see ya soon! :cool::rolleyes::cool:

    Guess I can try to turn over the engine with a wrench. If I pick this one up I will have 8 sitting in the driveway.

    Or Doug. Robert you seem to have all the luck. It does sound like it would be well worth it in parts.

    Robert, if you dont want it, I might take it off your hands, my 70 is just about finished and my 71 comet gt is not going to be a big project so I could take on another one. and it would stay in Tennessee.
