Clarence, Iowa

I saw another nice possibility this week on Ebay. A guy in Clarence, Iowa had a Lincoln Towncar engine and auto tranny for sale asking just $800. The car had over 230,000 miles, but the engine was brand new less than 50,000 miles ago and the tranny was rebuilt at the same time. The engine wiring harness and computer were to be included as well. He even offered to deliver it for $1 a mile. If I were really committed to doing this, I could probably have gone for it. I emailed him and did not really forsee any titling troubles. It ended up that nobody bought it and he has re-listed it. Maybe in another week or so I will have more conviction that I really want to go ahead.
