T/A block

[rftroy]

So, my number is coming up soon for a Passon five speed, and I'm looking to sell a few things to pay for it.

I have a standard bore T/A block with one cracked bore, which will need a sleeve.
Actually, block is ~0.002" over with not much taper, about a thou.  Could be someone did a ring job at one time.

Plan is to clean it up and mag it.  I will leave it to buyer to sleeve the bore; I'd want to do it myself if I was buying.

So, any ideas what it's worth?

Any VIN numbers?  If you find the car it came from, that's your buyer.... Unfortunately it looks like more than a crack, a sleeve should fix it just fine but it looks scarier than a typical crack....

Oh, yes, the cylinder is cracked through, but that's not that atypical.  Don't expect problems from this, but will mag block anyway.

And I contacted Barry Washington a while ago and he had no record of the VIN.
I will contact him again to see if there is any new information.

Right now I just want to get a feel for what it's worth.
After seeing that complete rust bucket AAR go for 36.6k last night, I may be undervaluing it.

post the VIN  - Barry isn't the only registry (He & the AAR registry don't even share all VIN info & they're both in PA)

I fully agree.

But the question is, What's it worth?  Even if the car still exists and the owner is found, I still need an idea as to the block's worth.

BS23J 0B297190 is an automatic AAR in FJ5 "limelight" w/black top & interior - but that's all I know

I'll take a guess,
$10k to match to the original car
$5k for someone to use as period correct

Wow I'm impressed! Do you have a record on all AAR's and TA's?

What does the block come with? Just block and caps?

[Cuda Cody]

If the block checks out as good (magged) and the only repair is the sleeve, then I think someone might go to $4 or $5k if they need a T/A block.  Finding the original car would push that number up a lot.  But that's just a guess.  I'm really not sure what T/A Blocks are going for these days.

If I needed one I would be making you an offer.  Good luck with the sale.

Yes.  Block and caps.
