To sell, or not to sell???
I just got a first gen. 12a complete engine w/ transmission (clutch, press. plate), alternator. I do not know how many miles are on the engine, and i will be doing a compression check. My question is how much would i be able to get with good compression? How much would i get if it does not have good compression? how much if i rebuilt it?
thanks

GS, GSL, Body condition, interior condition, paint blah blah blah. It depends on a lot of things.
