if its a cobra jet it would be worth a full restore. unrestored I bet you could get 20-30K |
I'll get the VIN today. I do know that the original engine was replaced after one of the kids blew it going 120 mph. Seems like that should not have blown this kind of engine but I don't have any more details, like how long they were going 120 or if they had enough oil in the system. At first I was told that a smaller engine was put in but later told that it was the same engine. I think the VIN research will tell me this.
