I have some parts that I need to part with to make some room and maybe get a little cash to fund the build. I have a chrome valve cover off of my factory 194c.i. sixer. also the intake/exhaust manifold with carburator along with the complete engine from my 62'. I have a 12-bolt posi that i do not know the make model or what it fits exactly. lastly i have the door handles plus one lock from the passenger side.

so, there are all of the pictures. I could guess what i think that they are all worth but it would be just that. im not sure of the make or application of the posi as well. if anyone could give that application and make/model and what it may be worth. thanks much guys

the skirts "might" be worth 'bout $100-$125 on E-Bay, it all depends on who needs/wants them and supply & demand. might go for more, might go for less...

the engine ? that'd be a "local" only as you wouldn't be able to ship it. i'd say "maybe" $50... the valve cover ? i'd venture a guess at $15-20. the door handles... well, reproductions are available and they'd be all shiney & purdy, cost of rechroming the stockers... i'd do my own before buying used units so i don't know if they're really worth much more than 5 bucks.

all of this is just a guess of course... regarding the posi... personally regardless of what it fits it needs a thorough cleaning to make it presentable. all that rust would throw me off as a prospective buyer. then one must consider what a rebuild kit would cost compared to just buying a new carrier. a new Eaton unit can be had for in/around $300. so what would that core be worth... that one i'll leave alone.


good luck to ya ;)

that is more or less along the lines of what i was thinking. Im certainly not under the impression that im sitting on a gold mine. It would be stuff that I would just throw away aside from the skirts. Just thinking that i could help provide a part for someone looking. for $20 bucks, i think im gonna build up a new valve cover racer for the car show coming up. haha. if any of ya'll need the door handles, you can have em for the cost of shipping. think i found a friend that could put the posi to use in his old pickup project. thanks for the input guys. nik
