I was searching the web looking for a good price on a Purple cam and came across a thread from January. The guy posted the cam on that auction site but no one bid. I contacted him and remembered that he was an auctioneer and cleaned out homes and as a matter of fact was in business where I lived a several years ago. He sent me about 6 or 7 detailed photos including the photo of the front of the original box. The note on the box stated that the cam came out of a 69 RR and was only run 50 miles with the cam in it then removed. All of the lifters are numbered and marked for location and are still shiney and un-scratched. The cam has very minor surface rust on the journals and cleaned right off. Price was $10.00 plus shipping.
Second purchase was a fairly new set of P5249848 MP springs, 741-16 retainers and new locks still in the bag. Just what is needed for the above cam...
Price was $100.00
I have never purchased a used cam and if not for the fact that I just got back to work after being laid off for over 2 years and on a very close budget I wouldn't even consider it. So for about $110 bucks I got about $450.00 in parts that will get me closer to putting my engine together the way I want it.
