Anyone ever seen anything like this?

Take a look at the last pic on this ebay listing. Is that a cracked block I'm seeing? No mention in the ad about it.

Looks like he has added:

<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Main issue is this:

It needs an ignition switch and there is a hole in engine the block. It does not run. We are selling it this way so please understand this and bid accordingly. This car is certainly worth the effort to repair. </span></span>

10 bids and up to $545

That A-pillar rust is a bad telltale sign, I wonder where it was stored?

Looks like it is easier to get crazy money from worthless parts car than a good daily driver

Have I ever seen a Rusty car with a Blown Engine? Too many times- in fact- i have a parts car with less rust.

Ain't a freeze crack.
Below the water line, gallery plugs not bulged.....

Somebody tried to play "Maserati" at what, 11,000 rpm....

No no NO !!! That is the fully ventalated crankshaft only avalible on the "Sun Runner" model with the rare alloy rostyles wheels. It is designed to reduce internal crankcase pressures and prevent oil being pushed past the crank seal at high rpm's whilst running after the sun. The model was finally abandon as it was learned no matter how fast you drove, one could never actually catch the sun. I guess that's why plans for the even higher performance "Sun Catcher" model were never released.

Me thinks YOU have been in the SUN too long today....

Its now up to over $1000. Makes me feel pretty darn good about the $3200 I paid for my Bugeye.

Hey, wassamatta? It had only one owner, only 67000 "original" miles, and has been stored in a heated garage! It must be in really good condition!!!

This one teaches a lot of lessons: how a car can look really nice from external pictures, and still be in awful shape, and how things like mileage and no. of owners, which have some relevance in newer cars, are totally meaningless in a 40-year-old vehicle. And, how careful you need to be when you buy one of these.
