those are cool. wonder what the rserve is on that 302, not that it matters i can't buy it anyway.

2-$3,000 probably.

I think $7,500 would buy both, which is a "ready made" race car for someone.

If (that word again) you can still run that type of chasis?? \:\)

Well,the 250 went for around $500. No bid on the 302 yet.

It's tough to buy an old racing engine. They all sound good but after taking it apart the cost to use could be astronomic in todays world. Those carbs are probably worth the most and useless unless your running a vintage drag race organization where you need to use them. E-Bay bait.

It is not cheap to have Joe Hunt or Don Zig redo a magneto especially if yoyu want to hop it up to 5 amp.

If it has a roller cam one bad lifter could ruin your day. If the cam is good it's grind may be " obsolete" by todays standards but good for a regrind if it is steel.

Valves are a pickum along with springs replacemants. Back in the 50's all kinds of oddball stuff was used. The rockers look stock which are ok but everyone today have found or built their own with higher ratios.

A home built intake is definatly not worth what a Howard 5 carb be worth but you can get repops now.

Rods could be boxed and if it has forged pistons they are probably Forgetrue.

Anyway good luck and I'll watch it too...

I think 97's go for around $100 each.

Another thing is: Why would someone buy a race car & leave it sit for all this time??

I doubt if it will sell.

No, I can't, I'm "out of gas".... \:\(

It was fun in the 60s though. A friend was with the SCTA and went there a lot.

Have fun & be safe. \:\) \:\)
