The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Changing of the Guard. A new breed of car nuts.

Came across this Flathead industrial engine (used at a ski lift) on FB marketplace two days ago. It’s local, and was offered for free. I responded saying I would take and was local. I had my suspicions, and sure enough the seller (knows nothing about it - estate sale) now says he is looking for best offer. Replied saying last seized industrial Flathead I purchased for $100, and offered $150. Never heard back, and seller has now changed the ad. So, here we go, someone who knows absolutely nothing about flatheads, now thinks he’s sitting on some kind of treasure.
