After I pulled the 232 6cylinder / automatic from my 32,000 mile Gremlin to make room for the 401 / 4 speed going in, I decided that I really didn’t need it laying around the shop, so I posted a ad on Craigslist, that anyone who wanted could come by and get it for free. I figured that maybe someone could use it for their project, or to just keep their AMC running, and it would be better option than throwing it on the scrap pile. (You got to think Green)  I got about 20 e-mail responds the first day, so I figured I would let the people who sent the 1^st e-mail have 1^st shot at it.  The guy called me told me he’ll be there at 10:00 sharp Saturday, (2 weeks ago).  He never showed, call him around noon, told me he had to work and would be there a 10:00 Sunday, again he never showed, called him around noon, and he told me he decided he didn’t want it.  The same story happen with 4 other guys.  It was a total waste of time so far.  So I sent out an e-mail to all the other who said then wanted it, gave them my address and told them that the first one there after 9:00 AM Saturday gets it.  I got e-mails back telling me that it BS and they weren’t going to come out if there a chance that it could be gone.  (Note: I live in the city of Omaha , its not like I’m 50 miles out of town).  I did have a few phones calls, but again no one show up.  Then the kicker came last night when a Ass Hole sent me a e-mail telling me he would take it, if I guaranty it to run.  I sent him a e-mail telling that if the Damn thing didn’t run, I would have scarped it out in the first place, and that he could go to Hell, I’m keeping it.  I would rather let the damn thing sit in my shop, than gives it away. 

You would think that trying to give away a good running motor and transmission wouldn’t be shut a pain in the ass.  I will be a long time before I post anything on Craigslist again.

 

If anyone on this list needs either the motor or transmission, let me know, than are free if anyone needs them, just don't mention Craigslist.  I would be willing to crate them up for shipping at cost.

 

Thanks

Ed
