FS: '81 1.6L NA Drivetrain. 28tkm/17.5 K from new

FS:

 I have the complete, as pulled, drive train from a Caddy project.  The truck is an '81 and it was pulled from the road in '84.  28 TKM/17.5K on it, believe it or not.  This isn't a museum quality piece as the truck sat outside the whole time it wasn't used.  I had a young apprentice working for me at the time when I first got the truck and he thought he'd surprise me with getting it running while I was on lunch break but the TB was so old it snapped while he was rev'ing it and bent valves unfortunately- yes, nice surprise thank you :P

 So what it is:

- fully dressed 1.6L NA engine with all trimmings
- fully dressed 4 speed transaxle, still connected to the engine

It's not stored in a very easily photographed spot but it's been dry storage since it was pulled. I'll do my best this weekend to shoot some.  The Caddy project is now gone and I still have this but don't have a use for it.  Looking for a fair offer on it.  Yes, I will ship but the buyers expense.

Not much interest, eh?  No eye candy to look at the reason?  I'll try to shoot some pics today.  Slap some new valves in the head and run it.  28000 km TOTAL on this!  Not looking to get rich.  What's a fair offer on the package?  Let's start at $325.  I'd prefer not to ship but will if all costs are covered.

If it was 10 hours closer, I'd pay your asking price.

I could ship but you'll be looking at $300 minimum.  Not sure if that puts it out of interest or not?

Still here.  I actually have another complete engine and trans too.  This one a runner.  Same price if the buyer grabs both.

Cool!  Thanks for the offer.  That's generous especially since it's going to Alaska  ;D
