In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Is that $30k in monopoly money?

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
He thinks the "Shelby" engine is a "hi pro" not a hi po( short for High Performance) and it's got an Edelbrock carb in place of a far superior Holley. The drivetrain in an 84 Bronco II wouldn't live behind a good 289 2 barrel. I assume he lives in a state where pot has been legal for a while. That would also explain his price.

Maybe it has a newer 4cyl swapped in with waste spark. Open hood. See 8 plug wires. Close hood. Yay! It's an 8cylinder! Listen to rusted out exhaust. Yeah, man. That sounds awesome! Doesn't seem to have 8 cylinder power. Must be something wrong. Let's sell it quick.

I've worked on Carter AFB's and thermoquads, Rochester quadrajets, Edelbrocks, Webers, Solex, SU, whatever that Jap thing on Couriers was, Ford Variable Venturis, Holley 1 barrels, Carter YF's, more Ford 2100's and 2150's than I can count, Demons, the early "teapot" Holleys, and the 4150 and 4160 Holleys. For a street driven vehicle nothing comes close to a 4160 that's set up properly.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
Wow... $30k and there isn’t even a pic of the engine or at least an engine size. That is a “the wife said I have to sell this, but I don’t want it to sell” ad if I ever did see one!

My first wife said I had to sell a car, and I didn't want. Good thing I live along a human trafficking corridor, I got a better wife, and still have that car.

There are things like this all over craigslist. Some are scams where they try to get people to send a deposit and then disappear. Some are fake and used to get people to call so they can try to sell you something else.

I think I get it now, South Dakota uses Philippine Pesos, so $30,000 is actually $620 USD, which seems a fair price for a rusted B2 that has to be trailered

To be fair, I would totally be willing to give the listed asking price of $30.

As a cannabis advocate, I disagree. A stoner would be selling this for 3500-6500.

Meth is expensive.

I'll bet he's on meth.
