In Reply to: ...59 HEMI Truck on EBay,, CHEAP!!!.... posted by BrittnCool on Wednesday, February 04, 2004 at 10:16AM :
You should take the few minuits needed to get this Hemi going. ....I have had this truck for about a year and a half,,I have kept the cab covered with a tarp,, I have done some tune up stuff on the motor like new plugs, oil change, new electric fuel pump, and have bought points which I have not yet installed...I have not had time to get the motor running although I was told by the previous owner that it ran great when parked,,,
I have turned the engine over by the starter and it turns very freely and looks like it will only need a few minutes of work to actually start up...engine is complete and is actually a transplanted motor out of a 57 Chrysler New Yorker,, I took down the ####s on the front of the motor and found out the info on the HEMI NET website.....
Not being a Smart A&& but I went to your listing to read about the engine. I would be scared to say it is a good engine unless I heard it run. Being told it ran good by the last owner is something I would not put my eBay name on. What hapens if it does not run good or has a cracked block do you refund the money and shipment costs? Better cover yourself in the listing. Take the few miniuts to fire that baby up you will get more for it that way. A few minuits work might make you a few hundred more dollars on the sale, and let you know for sure that it does run. Just a better selling point. The truck looks good, get it to start to make the buyer feel better. Mark H.
