Help establishing price for 225

I have an unproven (but told it ran) 225. It is complete and I have several spare parts for it (starter, two carbs, water pump, power steering pump) and the heavy fly wheel. I have a set of cast exhaust manifolds and a set of unknown headers. Where should I start for price? (I sold the jeep, sadly.) It's in the SF Bay Area, CA.

Is this a fair question to ask? I did not want to start a bidding war in the classified section.

Thanks,

Eric

 

If it's complete, fire it up and run it. It'll be worth more if you can prove that it runs.

 

To me any engine I cannot hear run is a core so $50-$200. If I can hear it run, it runs well, doesn't overheat or leak, etc. then in the $350-$600 range.

you have already sold the jeep. Now, that engine and the associated claptrap is in the garage and taking up valuable space. You don't need it nor do you want it (hence your posting). So why not price it to move and move quickly?

So, if its a good engine, then you may have sold it for less than it would otherwise be worth, but at this point, who cares?

If its a junk engine, then someone will have bought some scrap metal.

I'd put it up for sale for 104.61 and let someone who really wants it have it! You'll be rid of it, someone will be glad to have it.

Or you could price it at 400 and end up keeping it in the garage gathering dust, mice, and spiders. In ten years it'll be locked up and you might not even be able to get 104.61 for it.

good luck

If ya want $104.61 for it, let me know. I am in the Bay area fairly often and can take it off your hands. I have the 225 in my 70 CJ-5 and never know when I might need some spare parts (proven or not).

 

I would love to have a 225

I just recently bought a 1967 225 complete from carb to oil pan, clutch and flywheel but without exhaust manifolds, not running but turning over with a socket and ratchet. I gladly paid $120.00

 

I've been searching for months for a local 225
120 was a good deal

Road trip! 1200 mi RT, two-three days, couple hundred dollars in gasoline. I hear they have some beautiful scenery in Colorado.

 

I wish it was that easy but the army isn't to fond of soldiers just packing up and goin on a road trip lol
