My 340 Score of a lifetime!

Happy for you... and feel bad for him.lol
Bet he had no idea at all what they're worth.
Cha-ching!
I went to buy a 1970 340 4 spd swinger with factory dual hood scoops for 1200 back in 99/2000. Another got there literally 10 min before me and paid the money and then split for a trailer 'flat tires and registration expired' .I asked if there anything else...well, along with the car was a another 4 spd, a 340 short block with weiand xcellerator. I says to the guy while the buyer was gone...'that trans & 340 are worth another 300 each'.. to which he replied.. "really?" Then I left.
I went home kicking myself I didnt get there earlier. ....3 hrs later I get a call. .. "I'll take 600 for the motor , intake n trans, you still want it?"...'
Yes I do'.. I said.
Guess he went from including those items..to asking more money from the 1st buyer and the 1st buyer said no.

Well...It was the original motor for the swinger ...as it turned out...and a '77 smog 360 with a cam was in its place.

I still have the 340, the car went to Pennsylvania after I wouldn't trade or sell it.
He put a magnum 380 crate motor in it eventually.
