Re: [BaadAssGremlins] engine blowing up for charity

It is a variation of the "leave it on the ice till it melts and sinks"contest - great way to raise funds for charity using something that is going to be scrapped anyway. Used engines these days are only worth their scrap weight for the most part as now the engines outlast the cars, at up in this part of the country anyway. If someone has a good market for used engines, contact me off list and I will put you onto a few sources where you can buy them cheap and make yourselves some good money if you want to truck them to that market. My chum owns a big wrecking yard, and it is full of used motors most of the time - they end up going for weight about 3 times a year when they scrap out. (As an example, they had a good high performance Pontiac 6 cylinder out of an early firebird, complete and running, and I could not get $100. for it on ebay a couple of years ago).

Hi Everyone,, It's Bob from MN,,, It's me that has the ad on craigslist looking for a free car with good engine, to blow the engine up for a fundraiser.. Yes, Eddie, we could "sell" the engine, but what fun is that.. This way, we sell guess's for $5.00 each, as to how long the engine will last while at full throttle.. We have lots of fun and make hundreds more then if we were to sell the engine...

Thanks, Bob in MN. (North Star AMC)

===================================
This is for a Car Club Fundraiser ! ! ! ! Engine Blow Up Contest ! ! ! That will be held
the middle of October.
We are looking for ANY vehicle, as long as the engine still starts and runs good, to use
for our Car Clubs Annual ENGINE BLOW UP Contest/Fundraiser. Prefer that the vehicle is
free or dirt cheap. It can be non driveable, stripped, smashed, total junk, it does not
matter, as long as the Engine Still Starts and Runs Good..... I can come pick it up any
time that meets your schedule.
Thanks for looking at our ad, and have a great day.
Please only call between 9am and 8pm, Thanks, 763-753-4692
================================
Hmmmm...my first thought would be why would you blow up a engine you could probably SELL
for $100-$500 to someone regardless of marque? Could be a old Toiletota on last legs but
guarantee you someone wants the tired 4 banger. Seems like wiping your butt before you
crap here. You could probably raise more money by either (A) selling the engine or parting
out the beater or (B) rebuilding it and detailing it and getting more money for it for
your 'car club'.

It's time for my hero to speak on this subject:
