Thinking of selling, but...

Good Morning guys and gals.
When I bought my property 11 years ago, there was a 1972 Apollo Class A motorhome sitting on it. It's in need of a major restoration and we talked about doing just that. But lately, it doesn't seem like it may be in the plans. Hell , it's been 11 years and all the RV is just storage space now.

So, that brings me to why I am on the Mopar forum. I uncovered the motor and did a little research on it. From what I have found is it seems to be a Chrysler 413. I even played around with it and have even heard the darn thing run.

So, I would love to find a older (1930's) coupe and make a rat rod out of it but don't think that will ever happen so I am questioning selling this motor.

What does a running 1972 Chrysler 413 sell for these days?

Ill even take offers here before I list it if you guys want.

Thanks for any input!

The wedge motors are pretty cool, imo.

You can bore it .060 over and have yourself a 426!

Also, I've read that most 440 parts will fit onto it (aside from pistons, obviously).

That's a good idea Mopar. I guess it just depends on what comes first. That '30s coupe or a buyer for the motor. lol

Are you sure you can't give them away because of the emission regulations in CA?
But it does have a working automatic behind it too. I've had it move under it's own power when I had the motor running.

That looks like a sweet '33. I was thinking more along the bigger body style, say a '38 or so. Love the looks of a '42 and I know those aren't that popular due to not being a typical "Coupe" style of the day.

Opps, I just probably started a whole nother debate!!!! Sorry.
