I have a guy that called me who has a 1976 262.... He is asking 6500 , saying that the 6 cyl motor is extremely rare in the US....

So how rare is it?

[flyfishing3]

you could get a 99v70R for that.

i'd pass

Just because it's rare doesn't mean its good...

Matt Do I need to slap you when I come down?
I wont because your probably taller then me.

But read the above comments.
Here in FL you could get a 850R v70R or even a decent C70 for that price.
Or you could use that money to mod your current

See thats why I ask you guys .... I was skeptical from the start but thank you guys for confirming my doubts.

Im looking for a 242 as a project car, and posted a want ad for it... that tool called me.

There is a 242 on ebay thats only at $285 right now.... but its in Colorado..

I wanted to pick up a cheap beater for now so I can pull my motor in the 854 and start the build...

Its really rare in the fact that it still runs with that V6. My understanding is those engines will last if you use a synthetic oil and change it on a regular basis but keep in mind back when that engine was released
very few people use synthetics. I would avoid it and try to find a 81-85 Turbo coupe or late 70's GT. You could find one cheap and "invest" 5k making a really nice and rare classic.
