ask $2500 if can be heard running, comp tested, shifted into gear etc.
or $1250 as is where is
It might be new hours wise, but old rubber parts, seals and gaskets are still "age old" and a buyer should expect typical age related issues. Varnished fuel in carbs, stuck rings, chewed wiring.... barn finds can be nightmares which is why I upped the price so much running |

If this is good, and you end up with the over-haul data and receipts, it would be a plus.
These are good engines, and many know that finding a good runner is often much less expensive than to have their engine over-hauled.
Most will also be willing to pay shipping, so selling via e-Bay may be an option for you.
(host lots of photos.... maybe even a video clip of the engine running!)
Not many concerns about the drive.... not unless deferred maintenance has caused water damage.
The 4 cylinder engine power cannot and will not damage this drive.
