Ive been casually looking for a big pontiac for my new 62 wagon projects.
For mystery complete engines of unknown running status. Think an add that says, "ran when pulled" but you the buyer doesnt know if that was in 1984 or if it was running with a rod knock. Also you dont know if its already .060 over or not.
Ive seen anywhere from $2000 for engines that sit for months until the seller gets a little more realistic, to a few for about $500 that get snapped up instantly. I havent been fast enough to score one of those but I have seen them in the last year. The sweet spot tends to be asking prices of $800-1500. I suspect that there is always negotiation behind the scenes and the actual selling prices are more like $600-1300.
For engines that are proven runners that dont look like they are junkyard motors or have some kind of provable rebuild status they seem to start at about a $2500 asking price.
