Default V V Cooke engine

Maybe the solution would be to sell the car to the fellow with engine for $500,000 to $600,000 or a price in line with what he feels engine is worth .

Exactly what I was thinking. Then the engine owner could have all the profit when he sold the car for 1 million...

The way I see it, IF the value of the car differs by X amount, a reasonable price is around 65% of X. Were not talking peanuts here, were not talking run of the mill engines and cars. So if the "value" of the car goes up 100,000, why should the guy with the engine not be allowed to get his share of the value either? Now IF the Yenko value is only increasing say $40K, then YES $20K is a strong offer.

Is the engine worth 20K to anyone else, no. But the car owner should be the only one making huge profit IF and when he sells. IF I was the owner of the car, I would find out the how much MORE the car is worth with the born-with engine. I would start at 50% of that value. BOTH should profit almost equally in the reuniting of the born-with engine.

BUT now that the engine is out there and known, will probably be reunited down the road once reality sets in on both side. Might take time or a few years, but should happen some day.
This is exactly what I thought but as a member that doesn’t post much didn’t think I should be the first to chime in. Hope it works out. At least it still exists!

Well that is exactly what Andy described in detail in establishing their offer/value. Remember the seller can ask the moon, but the value is really established by what owner of the car is willing to pay. The engine was born with that car only, and owner of the car would have the most value/incentive to purchase.

Andy(61 vert) represents the car owner and described how they established their offer/value which seems reasonable.

I've never let this be known, but I sold the 1967 Dana Z28 short block for 3k. It had super low miles, with every sq inch massaged by Traco. At the time, I had a couple Camaro's that I could have thrown the engine in and had some fun. Tomy would have paid 5x to reunite the original Traco 302. Right is right

come on guys....if the person that has the car now & he decides to sell it..is there a cap on the sale price? no! so if the seller with the car has a all they can get sale price...why can't the engine seller name his price & if no one wants to pay that price that's up potential buyers..so it depends on the person that needs that particular part to make the value of their investment go up.. you all are being pretty hard on this guy...this may be his only diamond in the rough that he has/his once in a lifetime sale...so cut the guy some slack...i have seen some pretty crazy prices on some parts on this website...5000.00 rear ends,100,000 basket case cars...etc...
