500 hours? Maybe they just let it idle for 20 days so as not to put any mileage on the engine.

hours is so vague. You see Rpm's on trucks and hours on equipment, like brush chippers. Odd

Anyway, I thought it was comical, glad i'm not the only one
Maybe he has used it in a boat!?!

Did this shot puzzle anyone else? How did the entire motor/crossmember assembly with steering rack still attached get on the ground?

Cutting torch would be my guess.

That's where it came to a stop after the accident. Actually, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.

So, they cut off the front end and then cut the crossmember and slid it all forward out of the car? Wow.

Actually if you look at some of the side view pic's, the crossmember appears to be intact. They probably removed the engine from beneath the car. Probably a good thing as it hides the apparently broken mount boss to the uneducated eye.

I guess were wasting more time than called for on this engine. So they had the car on a 2-post lift, detached the front crossmember and raised the body off it. No problem.

Has anyone ever contacted sellers like this and called them on the BS? I have done that a few times when I see an ad that has info that is blatantly wrong, or the seller (such this one seems to be) has either a: erred in valuation, or b: is out to rip off some poor blighted soul; either way, they are deserving of any insults delivered directly.....ignorance or thievery both deserve punishment.

I don't think this guy would respond well to such inquiries. Just the way the ad was written threw me for a loop, leaving alone any factual issues. Honest or dishonest mistakes are worth noting to the seller, but this one seems just too far out there to be called a mistake.
