There are far, far, far, more project cars sitting under tarps or gathering dust in garages than ever get finished.
That is probably why that car is for sale again. Someone else had it for sale a month ago. Even paying 2-3k for a good used engine 5500 is still a good buy........ if you have the ability to work on it.

I did purposely buy an engine with a spun bearing to rebuild so I know what I am getting into if I decide to buy something and take that on.

There is an auto in the NW sale thread for 6k, needs engine
