Is it me or is second hand getting expensive?

[BasicQ]

I’ll let you guys decide if the price is reasonable or not. There’s a bit there and cannot tell from pics if boost referenced or not so maybe only T/R.

But what I am seeing is it’s a pair of 650cfm carbs. Telltale sign is two digit number on main body that indicates venturi size

28 indicates 1.28” venturi for a 650cfm. 40 (1.400” for a 750). 42 (1.425” for 825). 56 (1.56” for an 850).

Compare to 850 below

Got to be careful what your getting for premium prices. Car parts as well as cars.

While on the subject of prices rip offs and carburettors, a certain ex board member here form Brisbane clearly is intent on getting rich from enthusiasts for his ''custom and carb work" and I must admit loose terminology in the statement. PM if verification and or details are wanted and who to steer clear from

I just ordered some fully assembled TrickFlow heads for a BB Dodge from Summit, $AU3060 & that includes shipping & a set of ARP head bolts.

The shipping from Summit is incredibly cheap compared to other places, plus you get a choice of shipping companies. Shipping with Fedex for above was $US195; same heads from another supplier wanted $400+ for shipping.....

But ya gotta laugh.....

Fedex economy is more expensive than Fedex Expedited. Only the yanks could......

[swampy]

hi
No constant as far as shipping goes from usa . Front disc setup for motor bike 400$ .Tacho 90$ summit or jegs . 60$ ECU and wiring . 1x pr cyl Heads quote from pack and send 440$ .

[BasicQ]

The dry run I did on the heads above has the following shipping

Friday, Feb 19 - Thursday, Feb 25
DHL Express $229.07

Monday, Feb 22 - Thursday, Feb 25
FedEx Economy. $235.48

Monday, Feb 22 - Thursday, Feb 25
UPS Expedited. $282.52

Friday, Feb 19 - Tuesday, Feb 23
FedEx Priority. $287.01

Friday, Feb 19 - Tuesday, Feb 23
UPS Saver. $370.16

Like Geoff said, don’t understand UPS expedited and economy pricing.

Also I was not long ago looking at heads from a US porter TEA (Total Engine Airflow). Heads and price looked great but the deal breaker was over $900 shipping quote.

This is taking the piss:

“Genuine Vl Calais NA 1987 series 2
Matching number car with all tags and vin

Full resto car yes it’s got rust get over your self boot and both windscreen panels need changing

No engine or box
No flip ups
No interior

What you see is what you get no swaps cash only don’t waste my time I don’t care what you think my price is $7k

Only going up in price if it’s 7k today it will be worth more than $10k in a few years to come”

Just seen this pile of junk on market place again.

Bloody hell I wouldn't pay $800 for it. Some people are destined to take their junk to the grave with them.

The jack holding it up and the tarp he covers it with are worth more.

Even the I.D. plates are rooted so you couldn't even re-body it if you could get away with it.

How the f#ck do you bend a gear lever like that?

hi
50,000.oo in repairs for a 120,000$ shit box hmmm ..... nope

Australia the land of the overpriced, not so special vehicles.

** Its where Australians have no idea . Virtually ALL rebuilds that look the same as this or worse are only worth something if the bodies are dipped completely for a complete restore . Normal REPAINTING is NOT an option .Rust does not vanish magically !!!!
All very high quality cars are dipped when they are of high value eg 100,000$ or above.

20,000 $ starting

[BasicQ]

Where are the front struts?

hasn't reached reserve yet but it has reached a crazy figure already.

I am convinced some people prize cars in this condition similar to the way the tin sign movement have gone. You know the ones that are reproduction with rust printed on them? There must be a sub culture where the chook shed find seems to be revered.
