Stole 'em! If they were basically healthy when they were put away they may need nothing more than waterpump impellers, clean and gap the points, clean the carbs, and a check of all the hoses. Good, clean, running motors like that, even that old, can get upwards of $400-$500 in this area...

I would have bought 'em and ran to the truck before he changed his mind! Even if they need a little work, that's a great bargain on a great motor. How 'bout a report when you get them running?

What an evil deed! You can absolve your guilt by sending one of them to an elderly, retired granpa. :D

$900 for a clean old 20 E/J.... Check completed auctions- that's not far off. The guy tried 1250, now 900...I suspect he'll keep dropping..

Item #280163495783 a '66 that sold for $500:

Got my 75 20HP for $300 and I'm not sure why I was the only bidder, I thought I stole it...

but 2 for $100- terrific deal!
