Price check on a 72S engine

[John Straub]

I need your help. I can pick up a 72S engine with about 60K on it out of a damaged car. Any idea what it is worth? It ran good at the time.

Thanks,
John

There is a post in the parts for sale section here and the person selling his '72S motor thinks it's worth $25,000.00! I don't think it's sold yet, to my knowledge.

There is another '72S, 10,000 miles on a complete rebuild but with IDS webers, for $6,500.00. It hasn't sold in over 2 months.

I would say $6,500 - 8,500.00 w/ the correct MFI is what I would expect to see it trading hands for.

Where? I have a complete '69S set up I'd sell for that. Actually, I have two! And I bought one 6 months ago for $1500.

You can always get lucky sometimes no doubt. But when i'm restoring something for a customer and we need rare item "X", that kind of availability and price is seldom.
A few years past when I think back, of a few 4-cams i could have bought for $15k-20k make me spin. I probably would have stuffed into my 56' VW pickup come to think of it.

Good point. Regardless, my offer to anyone wanting a complete '69S MFI for $3500 just needs to ask.
