so I had a couple of surprise expenses pop up and figured it might be a good time to go through my pile and see what I can let go to raise a little cash.....

things I've had for decades, stuff I had plans for back in the day; but those plans never materialized........I'm pretty sure most of us have been there

anyway......... I have this Holley 650 Double Pumper, I bought it in 1982 when I was 17.

I Ran it on my first hotrod, a 68 Chevelle 350 4 speed...... then on a ratty 68 vette convertible, 4 speed, chrome side pipes....... after that I let my buddy use it on his 390 4 sp AMX; that car eventually became mine.......... it also ran on my other friend's Rebel Machine 390 4 speed; it also ended up being mine.......

I don't think I've looked at it since 2007 when things got put into my shipping container that is attached to my shop........ well, today I brought it out into the light

it's not a rare piece, I know someone would gimme a couple hundred bucks for it, and I know I can always get another one if I so desired.......

but I just don't think I can let it go; I'd sooner pimp out the old lady :D
 
Just don't lend it anyone else to try Mark, you can't afford another car :lol:

They're actually going to break it in on their 650 DP dyno carb.

Can you post a picture of her? LOL
 
Never let go of a carb that works properly,sell your body like manwhore RC! He's humping fat chicks,and buying Hemi's ,Hellcats, and GT 40s!
 
bought that baby at Mr Auto in the Berlin Farmer's Market....... I wonder how much it cost back then? I'm thinking 135 bucks?
 
I have stuff that I’ve set aside to sell at swap meets but now I am thinking of keeping. Some stuff you’d sell for $50 costs you $100 to buy again later. If you have the room to store it, I like to keep it.

I have stuff I know I'll never use....... I may never use this carb again, but it ain't going anywhere
 
You knows whut you got!
