$500.00 2.4 & roundtops

[Mark Maras]

Craigs List,  Portland

 Nov. 28, A running 2.4 is being pulled & sold. 55,000-odom. Includes the round tops & presumably more. I'm getting more info.

 I don't need this, I hope, but if anyone does, I'm just a few miles from it & offering my services as a P.I.F. middleman. I'll update the info when I receive it.

Update

 The owner says "nothing" is wrong with the 2.4 except an oil leak. He's replacing it with a 2.8. Engine comes complete with carbs, & exhaust manifold. Pretty much a drop in, plug it in & fire it up. OH no! I think I may be talking myself into buying it. The carb set-up alone is worth the price. The only thing stopping me, at least for now, is the thought of sleeping in the basement with all of my unappreciated parts.

 Anyway, I'm going to try to listen to it run & check the compression before he pulls it. More later.

If it has original round tops, it would also have the early pre-smog E88 or even en E31. If you get a good compression test that would give you an indication on condition.

The head and the carbs are worth more than 500. It wouldn't be a bad investment if you had room to store.

Agree, The owner & I are making arrangements to fire it up & give it a comp. test on the 21st. We'll see what happens then.
