Great buy!  With it having the 350 and 700R4 you could even sell off the driveline parts and come out way ahead!

It's also late enough that's it's a 4L60E, so there's even more value in parts.

When I bought it, my thinking was that if either the engine or transmission were good, I could pull the functional one and sell it and come out ahead. Then sell other miscellaneous stuff like the rear axles, tires and wheels, etc. Then take what's left and sell it for scrap.


When it started up and moved under its own power, that was just the icing on the cake.  ;D

Deal King strikes again!



I know most of you won't know what this is. . .

It's a live tool for a lathe I just bought.  I can lock the spindle or rotate it as it's own axis and use this tool to mill shapes on the faces of parts (or drill holes, tap them etc)  It's double sided and since this lathe has a second spindle, one tool station on the turret will work on each side.

$5400 for a new one (and I just bought 2 at that with the machine  :o )

$400 on ebay.  Brand new, never used but has a dent in the side from shipping.  Shouldn't matter at all.

Any time two things get pulled apart, at least one of them is getting pulled toward something else.


(If you were high right now, that would've just blown your mind.)

Too much philosophy, more machine pictures.
