    Wheres Wedgie???? I know this one will make his heart skip a beat…

    I’m here on the west coast of Canada 😉

    I would be tempted if it where close to me but…

    The exchange rate these days would make a $200.00 motor into 260 Canuck bucks . Add to that the cost of the coils impeller gasket ,carb kit etc and it’s now $400 or more. I really can’t justify having that much tied up considering how many motors I have that I am not using.

    I’ve had to set a limit of under $100.00 for projects. Once in a while I find a good candidate at a bargain rate. I don’t expect to make money, rather I hope to just break even on them when the wife or kids sell them some time in the(hopefully) distant future.

    This motor, tank and stand with the operators manual was $50

    Before:

    No way, after parts and paint, that I’ll get my money back on this one. 😥

    After:

    Having said all that, that motor and tank would be a bargain at $200 for someone who wants a really nice survivor to round out their collection of ‘ 57 ‘Rudes.
