Why call these guys cheap? Perhaps they have have other things that they need to spend their hard earned cash on, like paying a mortgage, heating the house, taking care of a patent, or maybe even feeding the kids. Not everyone can spend boat loads of cash on over priced car parts being sold these days. Some guys want to be in this hobby for the pleasure of owning one of these special cars, and may not be able to spend $20,000 for an engine block. I have way more respect for those guys, than the guys trying to hold them hostage, just because they have their original block, or trans.

Sorry to use the term "cheap" for lack of a better term... what should I have called it? I wasn't referring to this particular situation because I know nothing about it.... I too would balk at $28k for the original motor - especially if there's a premium (possibly a ransom) being asked by the seller. There's a point (a price) when that's not realistic, even if you're Donald Trump.

I aplaud anyone for hanging onto a good car if they can, but a good car also deserves a certain level of respect (like being reunited with its original components when the opportunity presents itself). We all cringe when a guy tries to restore a good rare car with poor quality parts and poor workmanship and actually does more bad than good. It's not for any of us to to say whether he's right or wrong to do what he does with his car...

Are you saying this COPO would be worth 280K more with its original engine? That would be 28K to make 280K.

I think at the rate of $.10 to $10.00 would be the ratio of $28,000 to $2.8 Million.

You're absolutely right, I was thinking it was a dollar to make 10.

That block was cast 1 week before mine, assembled 1 1/2 month before mine and my partial VIN is 19N661xxx.
I guess they were just not machined, nor assembled, in the same order as they were cast.

I see this seller ended the auction early. Anyone know who had it for sale or if he sold it on the side??

Looks like the deal fell through and it is for sale on ebay again.
