I have a stock 1.7 motor in my car that I will be pulling next week. I would like to sell it as soon as it drops. The motor will be near Redwood City, California.

I have had the motor in my car for a year and it is in perfect shape. Standard power for a 1.7 and starts on the first turn of the key ever time. It was a temporary motor for me, and now needs to come out.

Complete from tins to oil bath air cleaner. No trans.

Still time to drive it before it's pulled/dropped out.

$450 seems to be a fair price.

Dang, that's a good deal.

Buy it, Mike!

I would if I needed a 1.7. It's probably the best deal out there on a turn key 1.7.

See if Rich at HPH wants it. Is that where you're dropping it? What are you replacing it with?

Posted by: treborzerimar Dec 3 2010, 07:33 PM

I bought the 2.0 from the chopped-top autocross car posted for sale. Not dropping at HPH.... but I will consider calling him if a member does not snap this up.

The motor runs super-nicely.... In fact, despite the basic horsepower, I will probably miss it every time I have to tinker with the carbs in my new set-up.

It has actaully been nice having a trouble-free motor for a change.... but it's time for a change.

Cheers!

.... I hope someone local can use the motor.

I have a customer who killed his engine and can not afford a rebuild right now. I wonder if I could get some tranportation help, maybe leapfrog it down to san diego. this would be perfect for him and would be a huge help since his house is down to 1 car without the teener running

Pretty sure I am going to have to take this off your hands. I recently bought a 73 914 that someone let water get into the motor. Only paid 450 for the car though. I live in reno so cant really drive there to see it run, but I will take your word for it that it runs good. Im just looking for a motor till I can afford a 6 conversion. Let me know if we have a deal.

Thanks,
Kyle

Also the car didn't have any exhaust when I bought it. do you still have the heat exchangers and if you do and there for sale, how much?

Thanks again,
Kyle

Kyle -

I will not be using the heat exchangers - you can have them in my $450 price. Also, I have had a perfect condition 1.7 exhaust in my garage.... you can have that, too for my $450 asking price.

But please call me to secure the deal. I have a lot of people calling with weird question LOL!..... first person to make a deal with me gets it.

I will send you a PM, as well.

Respected member from this site is assisting with the motor drop.... his mechanic can confirm current condition if you call ASAP.... being pulled early this week (Tomorrow).

I'm interested. Please pm me.

Robert,
I just called and left a message, hopefully we have a deal. I work all week but have the weekend off, was planning on a little hunting trip but that can change. And thanks for throwing the exhaust and heat exchangers. it will be a big help to getting the car on the road this coming spring. Look forward to hearing back from you.

Kyle.
