Rita it was nice to finally meet you and Bill as well as others from this site.
Glad everyone enjoyed the "cammer" always a blast.

Value? A fresh running engine that's "real"
not put togather from parts is well worth $70,000
reproductions are $35.000 that's what was in the 62 XL but the boat's was real.

SOHC covers are a pain to polish

Shaun,

Thanks for the input. I was not aware that they were making repro Cammer motors! At any rate, even with the 62 Galaxie having a repro motor, I'd say that the Galaxie/boat combo at $88K was indeed a bargain.

Let me add my thanks to you for bringing your Starliner to the Pavillions that day. I had friends here from out of state, and I had mentioned your car to them, hoping that perhaps it would be in attendance. They were not disappointed [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img] Sorry we didn't get to hear it running.....maybe next year.

Hey Bill sorry I missed you, not suprising given the crowds.
That was a good buy on the car and boat
A company called Dove eng. &amp; precision oil pumps have been reproing blocks, heads,and other items for awhile now,you have to do your due diligence when buying, A real cammer has specific oil drain backs in the block and heads.
The 61 Starliner has a 1966 vintage engine carb to pan.
Very immpressive internals when we had it apart!
Shaun.

I still think 88K was about all the money for those two. a light blue 62 Galaxie is not worth much and the boat is not worth much. So what is left is the two engines. I have a orig SOHC in my Fairlane but don't put the value of the engine at 70K. And if I were buying that entire setup to get one orig. engine I would expect some kind of a discount.

original SOHC engines trade hands in the 30's. John V is FE.com member and that is where they are discussed along with the new SOHC offerings. The auction was discussed at length and considered a pretty good deal but.... those members put some value on the Galaxie which I personally agree with Charley not much. 7K for the boat and car puts the Cammers where they would expect to be at a BJ auction.
