RE: [DML] A fair price?

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

A car without a motor can't be road-tested. So when you're computing the
value, you'll need to factor in the possiblity of bad brakes, clutch, lines,
master/slave cylinders, etc.

The motor itself is easily replaced. You can have mine! :-) Seriously,
I'm getting one of the NOS souped-up motors from Stephen Wynne, so there may
be quite a few used motors lying around soon.
