Going Rate for A-65-8 OSMOH??

What's the going rate for a 0 SMOH A-65-8 with new Millennium Cylinders?

Just weighing options.

Thanks,

Erik,

If you have receipts for those Milleniums, as well as the other parts and any machine work (incl yellow tags for the case, crank, lifters, cam, etc) I would think it would be worth $7000 or $8000. There are a lot of A65s for sale on Barnstormers all the time for $4000 or $5000, but they often don't have any receipts. I would rather pay more to have some documentation. I once sold an A65 completely disassembled for $6500. But it had reciepts and yellow tags for almost every part. It also had all the rings, bearings, and gaskets needed for assembly. I forget the exact number, but the machine work alone was well over $4000.

I have all of the paperwork for the cylinders as well as the receipts from Columbia with all of the yellow tags for the rest.

So I take it you are the seller. If so, then you know what I mean about the costs of all the machine work. If you add the costs of the machine work and the costs of the Millenium cylinders, I am sure you will be well over six grand. So anyone needing a good engine, who is willing to pay for all the documentation you have, should be willing to pay $8000 or more. Problem now is finding someone who has a real need for an A65. You might have to wait until next spring to get full price.

If anyone reading this knows of a C90 for sale, I need one. I would prefer one that needs overhaul.
