Need some help!

I listed my 1965 (running) 330; 4bbl and jetaway for sale at $500 OBO; not getting any bites. What's the problem; price or demand?

I would say both. Probably demand more than price.

It may be the 127,000 miles on the engine and trans scaring off some perspective buyers... But, I think it may be more lack of demand...

Seems 330's do suffer from the lack of love. I have the same setup from my 67 in a shed, I don't know what I'll do with it. No one wants a Jetaway.

I understand the Jetaway but the 330 is a really nice engine.

I was going to say that the crank is probably the most valuable part of that package. The no. 2 heads would be a nice upgrade for someone with no. 8 heads on a 350. As for the Jetaway, well, I once advertised a 330 core motor for $100, or $75 if the buyer also took the Junkaway trans...
