Smokin' Joe's Grocery Gitter

[sandy]

Several car auctions hit Scottsdale this time of year. This is going on the block Friday with no reserve at the Russo & Steele auction. It's got a V12 Detroit with 2 blowers. Torque: maybe 3000 ft/lbs.

WOW...Thats awesome....Buy it for me Sandy and put a nice air ride seat in it before you deliver it    That would be a head turner for sure...Beautiful workmanship ....Anyway you can find out what it sells for ? I'm guessing $ 125,000

...the 12V71 comes stock with 2 blowers on it, it is a one piece block and a single crank (16V is 2-8 cylinder blocks end to end).. these were a good engine in their day.. the 2-cycle Detroit series numbers were the displacement per cylinder (53, 71, 92, 110, 149) and came in multiple cylinder options.  71's were available in 1 to 16 cylinder models and offered a model that had 4- 6's driving into one box with a single output.

I forgot to include the website. www.blastolene.com  I'll bet it goes for a lot more than $125K.
