Does It Pain You To Find An Abandoned Child?

Nifty.

I wonder if a 70-80s 400GTA drivetrain would fit in there

 

That broke my heart.


Everything looks so pefect but she's lost her soul...

 

There was a 330 GTC for sale in the UK recently, it went for £400.

I was talked out of buying it as a garden ornament.

Shaughnessy knows better than to part out such a complete car. It has great potential for somebody with a V12 in their parts stash. How about a hemi?

 

My Mistake.

It's 10PM do you know where your engine is ????

 

Nope, picture with the door open shows the engine in the car. Yale

I thought that he only "toasted" the ponies and didn't carve them up? So where is that V12 going that was removed from the poor horse?

 

SWB in Switzerland

 

So how much of an "additional expense" would it be for a trans, driveshaft, and serviceable or rebuildable engine?

 

It would obviously be a NON-profitable labor of love, or Tom would not have started carving already.

 

Obviously! But it made me wonder what it would take to build my own 330 America.

 

Was this a matching engine or a replacement? Care to share the internal engine number?

Nothing is sacred ... guess the SWB owner has enough money. I must say Tom I've seen a lot worse looking GTEs ... but heck nothing to do with me

What a pity.

Hmmmmm, with semiretirement and the right bits on a big enough milling machine....and a big enough lathe.....

 

What are the going prices for:

a) an engine
b) a gearbox
c) the drive shaft

 

Tom's email to me says, "no engine to be found, anywhere."

So, unless you know where to find one, you're buying a big planter, or an expensive playhouse for the kids.

maybe you can retrofit a pinto engine.

So SWB owners are now causing RESTORED cars to be parted out?

Better grab 250's while you can...

 

I've got to say that breaking up a car that nice really bothers me!

Stand back Tom, it looks like we are gearing up for some "KING" bashing!!!

 

I disagree. If the motor in MIA and no period correct replacement is feasible, this car is headed for the replica pile. Who ever buys this car will probably chop it and turn it into a 250 Cal or GTO horror.

I say that Tom is the man for parting this car out. Not only will he make more money, but I'm sure that every part has a current 250 GTE owner name on it somewhere.

Get out those wrenches and the camera!

Dr "It's only a car, guys" Who

 

Who, I don't understand your point. The GTE had a motor, it was taken out and sold to a swb owner who probably wanted it AS A SPARE so he could race his car and protect his number matching motor from any race related damage. Yes, it's only a car and now there is only one less...etc. Tom bought 5 GTE's in the last year so maybe there is now 5 less...etc. I'm not bashing Tom, it's just sad that the economics of the situation are such, but then I like indipendent hardware stores, small farms, and small car makers too. Not that, that gets you anywhere. All the best, Yale
