eBay Dream

Post by conbs » Wed Mar 26, 2014 2:33 pm

Keep an eye on eBay 301135477275 It is in Mass. I think you can get it shipped for $4-500. Hard to say what the reserve is. You might ask just to have a comparison.

Is there any way the seller would let you put a little ATf/acetone down the spark plug holes to see if it will break loose? (Careful. If it breaks loose that stuff will go everywhere). It will need to soak for a couple days/maybe a week. If it would run without smoking and has good compression, that would tell you a lot. Without that info, I think his price is too high. There is just too much risk, unless you want to buy it to part it out. But, please don't.

Hope that helps.

If you are obsessing, it is probably terminal. You will probably have to buy a Dream, but it doesn't have to be this one.

I dont think he is going to put anything in the motor, but I can ask. I am considering going get a closer look at it next weekend. Is there a "what to look for when buying a dream" thread? Can someone give me a few pointers on what I should be looking for when I get there? I have been thinking of questions I need to ask him, but pointers from people who have been through it before would help. Thanks for everything!
