No justice at all!!

This great looking Marlin was only up to $3650 this morning on e-bay:

But this 64 American with a Chevy V-8 was up to $8400! The engine mounts don't look very well thought out. If they are welded to the sides and don't have a bolt on flange I would question how well they will hold up. The oil pan had to be cut and welded to fit, and it likely has the six cylinder front springs. That's fine as far as height, since an SBC doesn't weigh any more than the old 195.6, but spring rate will be a bit soft. They don't even really know what size the engine is -- listed as "350 maybe"!!

Asking price on the car is $12,500, but I don't think it's worth over $9K from what I've seen.
