I don't know about you guys but that is dirt cheap, because that thing has all the bells and whistles and is in nice shape. My neighbor and his brother just spent 10K to build one that wasn't even as well equiped as this green one and they only got 17k for theirs at the Silver's Auction in Portland.
If I didn't have 4 projects going right now I'd catch the bus and drive that little gem home to keep! The best engine I ever had was a '68 396 HP and one of the best show trucks I ever built was a 427 in a 4X4 a real screamer. Hey even the big boys that run Grand American Modifieds still run these BBC engines. I have a '71 402 out in the shop right now waiting to be fully built, rollered and balanced to some day replace the 283 in my '67. We had one in the early '70s with a Cadillac Rochester on it that got 21 MPG when you drove it right and it had enough power you felt like you could twist the frame.
Yeh I vote for the 402 BBC in a Burb with front and rear air, it will be like you found a '57 BelAir or a Super Bird Hemi some day !!!
