425 Super Rocket Worth???

JWW · 04-21-2006, 09:22 PM

Cleaning Dad's garage out, and found a 425 Super Rocket Engine, 11.5 Compression plus the Auto Trans.

What is this worth?

Thanks for any info..

I've seen one on ebat and in forums for $600 wo tranny but it hasn't sold for months. Another for $400 but it took about three months to sell

Mostly depends upon the market, if someone needs it you can sell it for up to $400, if not and you cut the price, an Olds hobbyist might buy it just to add to his "collection". If you are trying to sell it locally it might take a long time.

Thanks for the info. I have put off the garage too long. It's time for it to go.

Oldsguy · 05-07-2007, 08:10 AM

So, what does that mean? Are you going to sell it? It's been a year.

Where are you located?

JWW · 05-07-2007, 09:23 PM

Yup, Finally going to sell it.

JWW · 05-07-2007, 09:25 PM

I just sold one for $400, and it did not take long for me to sell once I hit the right market. Complete carb to pan with all the brackets.

You should get that or reasonably close to it provided it is not seized or weather beaten.

And then again, depending on its condition and history, it might not.

Any details? I got a '66 442 that needs a big block and will be out of the paint shop in a bit. I'm only an hour from you, traffic permitting. Norm V?? Haha, I bet you know who this is in this pic!!

I helped him get it going again (I'm not that guy), and just got back from the Morro Bay Show.

Judging by his lack of response to my question, I don't think he wants to sell it.

Yep.

Haven't seen him in a couple of years but, a couple of months ago, you answered the question about my '65 glove box.

If you're interested in the 425, go for it. Not a priority, in my case.

Well, Spence took 1st in the modified class, he's pretty happy 'bout that. I also heard a rumor from a reliable source that Big Willy is going to be opening a track out here soon again. Now I heard that alot in the last few years, but you never know. His old '70 Dodge Daytona race car popped up recently.

88 coupe · 06-16-2007, 09:53 PM

I only replied to this one, in case there is anyone else in So Cal that might be aware of the "Big Willy" thing.

If there is any interest, a new thread should be started with an appropriate title.
