another Craigslist WTHeck?

Simply amazing.

http://springfield.craigslist.org/pts/2058474584.html

"67-72 Chevy Inline 6 Engine block has the crank shaft still on it pulled it out of our dry creek bed. call me anytime 4 one 7 two 1 seven 9 three 9 seven. my name is Kyle"

So....Kyle let me get this straight...you want $800 for an undesirable engine block which you admittedly pulled out of a creek bed (for free I'm assuming). That is unless you count your time of course which judging by this ad you probably don't use to pursue gainful employment so I'm not counting your labor which brings the total to a whopping still free.

I guess if I spent my hard-earned cash on your future boat anchor and put it together with any number of the free, running inline 6 engines I could get in a matter of 5 minutes with about the relative ease of making a pot of coffee then I would have a free running engine plus a hunk of scrap metal that I would have to load and haul across town to collect about $25, thereby netting me a total of approximately ($775).

Where do we meet?

Well, then he's going to be kind of hot when he replies to my e-mail. If it's not a mistake then he's going to be even hotter!

Re: another Craigslist WTF?

Thats funny. I couldn't give my 250 block away so I had to send it to the scrapper. We need to have a Craigslist WTF section to put all of these gems.
