Thank you for the bids! Sorry we are not going to give this one away today. With nearly $8k spent on mechanical refurbishment, we believe this V12 is worth more. They are hard to find, and even needy ones are in the teens.
@sosweedeyep, we checked it right before we threw it in the trash.
@joeman100Typically with these bigger items we arrange shipping with an enclosed auto carrier that can fit something like this in their trailer without having to package it up. The official answer is "buyer is responsible for shipping/pickup", but we will work with our carrier contacts to help out the buyer. We are not equipped to package it up for typical UPS/freight shipping, hence why we typically default to the car carriers. Another great option is uship.com - there are independent contractors on there who will ship anything anywhere and that has been a pretty good resource for me in the past for oddball items.
Thanks DocTed! We definitely agree - I've had a number of these in all manner of mechanical condition, and I've learned that the good ones are really good but if they need some sorting they need a lot of it. This one ran OK when we got it but definitely needed to be caught up on service, so we went down the rabbit hole of addressing everything that we found. It should be ready to enjoy for the next owner. Once these are caught up on maintenance, they tend to be incredibly reliable and enjoyable if they are continually kept up.
