Is there something special here I am missing. Seems a bit pricy...

Too expensive for me
Around and around we go and where we stop we check the gas oil water and tires.

Add another $12.000 for the cost of restoring everything else that would go with it and youve got a restored 26-27 Model T.

It's not hard to put that much $$ into a professionally rebuilt engine

While definitely not impossible I'd want a complete list of what was done. IE; crank, cam, valves, ect. But as I said; not impossible. Now that being said this ad is a resale of a rebuilt engine. Did the seller punch it up a bit? Or a bit more ?

Don't forget EBAY gets 10% of the sale and PayPal (other Credit Cards) about 3% off the total amount charged (sale price & shipping) and for some states there is a sales tax on Internet sales. So the Seller may get about $6,000 and is not likely going to recover their cost Almost forgot - the Buyer is responsible to pay their State's sales tax if a sales tax (purchased state or their state) was not collected on any out-of-state purchase - right ;-) posting.php?mode=reply&f=2&t=3321#

That shop has a reputation for quality work, but for that kind of dough it should have a SCAT crank. I would quibble with "correct color", but that may have to do with the poor quality photo.

He might get some interest if he would include free shipping. Average T folks don’t pay that kind of money. Yes it’s nice but————
