Sure as hell wasn't me. If I remember, the similar incomplete unit that sold way back (10 years ago?) went well North of $4000. At that time the discussion was about the foolishness of the purchase and the estimated number of Hilborn units produced to be about 175 to 200. So, in some context, the purchase price paid this week falls in line. If I had a much larger wallet I would have considered it. The purchase price does point to a very impressive interest in Y blocks. Vic Jr. take notice, there is still a large inventory of Y block motors languishing in retirement. The 55-57 Tbird market will assure a constant demand. Many of the early Birds are being handed over to a younger generation as the original restorers are fade away. Many of the newer owners will be looking at what to do with them.
