I just acquired a bunch of parts with two parts cars that I bought, including a complete early 1.7 engine (W0095475).
The engine does not turn freely by hand; I haven't tried using leverage or lubrication to see if it will free up. I'm assuming whoever might want it would just want it for the case. I'm looking for advice on setting a fair price that will move it along to someone who can make use of it. Because of size/weight my plan is to list it on CL to see if I can re-house it locally (I don't want to deal with freight shipping). Paul    |

Yikes! Given theJake Raby videos talking about robustness of the early cases I wasn't expecting this! Is there more money in selling the case by itself?
