Now where did I put that bridge?
ok, browsing ebay and found this 2.0 pinto, carb model etc etc
now then, the part that surprised me, its going for £470!!!
that is more than three sierras that come free with the ol' boat anchor
is there something that i am missing about this engine that warrants the £470?
***eBay Link***
its not even rebuilt and in the sellers own words it "should be checked/serviced befor use"
I dont get it....
you can buy a whole car for that not just the engine
seems a bit much for just an engine to me
Now £490 after 39 bids!
Now where did I put that bridge?
Wish i could get my hands the stuff the high bidders on, it must be very enlightening
The seller must be doing hoops now - that is a crazy price.
for some reason, the "205 block" bit mentioned at the right time can pull them in. Yes, it is a better block but I think it sells on the "emperor's new clothes" principle. I suppose you could also say it is a cossie block and get even more. The last pinto I sold went for over £1200 but it was far from standard!
I've just put mine on after seeing this 
Got a bid within a minute of putting it on! Only a quid, mind... 
Stick a link up and I'll bid £2 on your engine Ben. However, if I win the engine just keep it yourself and re-auction it. £2 is actually £202
more than I'd pay for a Pinto

Going on what novacaine's links auction winner has been buying, I'd say he's a bit of a Transit freak
