Ok,

Just in, the fella whom I sold all of the 3.0 parts to is interested in looking at this tonight.  When he picked up my stash of scrap engine parts they were starting a Lemons team.

GRM price now $1200 I'm not heading east until October or I could deliver it.

Wait, there's a delivery option. Clicks add to cart... 

Im still on the fence to be honest, really too many cars right now.

Looks like you have some non-fbm interest so hope it sells soon without hassle. I'll keep watching the thread.

Yeah, I have kids in Detroit, they have a cottage in Caseville, if triangulate that and you are right in the middle.

I give it 90% sold.  I also have too many cars right now.

Sold.

To either the guy who bought the original motor that came out of this.  Or Jon as runner up.  

I have realized that I really like buying cars, selling them, not so much. 

Don't worry I'll have more, SWMBO noticed that I can flip cars for profit, even if I sell them cheap.  There was no profit in this one, just some good use and two boys that can drive a manual trans now.   It survived a full bypass heart surgery, major accident and two teenage drivers, it deserves a good home.

I got good news today, and cam on to reel you I'm out, completely. So glad you gat it sold!!!

Finally got the V10 spark plugs all repairs or replaced correct, and she's good to go (albeit expensive to tow)

Was not happy with the mismatched topper to hide my tools for travel in - but today I found a very high end Redding utility cap, for 1/4 what it's worth (about a tenth of new!) All steel, locking sides, and locking doors on the back! Tools will be safe, now  laugh

MPG still gonna hurt, but the camper won't have to be overloaded with tools  

Anyway, congrats on the sell!

Story time,

This did sell on FBMP for asking price to Austen, he bought my leftover engine and parts after the initial engine swap. 

His dad worked at a local import car dealer when he was younger, one of the cars he brought home was a new X5 Manual trans.  Austen has wanted one ever since.   I couldn't find his number to offer it to him but he lives near by and drives past my house frequently.  He sees it in the driveway saying to himself "I want to buy that" every time.  He saw my add yesterday morning on FBMP messaged me right away that he wanted it.  We went for a test drive, I showed him the cobbled frame and front end, warned that it has no ABS, or air bags, he still wanted it.   New wheels and tires are on the way, and he plans to paint it and maybe replace the hood.  

It went to a good home, my boys and wife are a bit sad to see it go as it was the boys first car.

BlueInGreen-Jon,

Sorry this didn't work out and thanks for understanding.   I had to give Austen a shot as he was first in line and I got $300 more out of it.  Any other random FBMP guy would have to come second to GRM.

I'm really glad this sold. I didn't want to drive it back to Florida, but I was starting to think about it.
