auxilary Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) I've been trying to sell my 13b-RE motor for the last 6 months, casually posting it and bumping threads once ina blue moon. I wanted to avoid shipping it as much as possible. I had tons of offers from east coast, but no one locally wanted to buy it. Several people that showed interest, as usual, flaked on it day or 2 before pickup. I had a guy contact me and tell me he would be coming out to pick it up from Florida. Apparently he works for an airline, so he flew in for free, rented a car, drove over and picked up the engine. I think the rental was a nissan sentra? I didn't pay much attention to it, but the trunk was fairly spacious. We carried the motor by hand, since it's only 150lbs or do as a shortblock. He also picked up both transmissions (3 feet long each), a pallet (not pictured), and tons of spare parts I gave him. He drove it back to the airport, and is probably in the process of crating it up right now to ship it back to florida. This almost ties the HybridZ guy that drove out from Montana to buy capt_furious's motor and we loaded it up on his semi Edited April 12, 2011 by auxilary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Yeah, those Florida guys are real weird! Congrats! I've never seen a rotary before in any JY here or in the Central Florida area. There always shells. Edited April 12, 2011 by JSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
