I am a landlord and I had a tenant move out of their warehouse space in middle of the night. They left owing me a lot of money and said I could sell everything left in the warehouse and apply that to the back rent.

One of the things they left was an L-22 + TH Auto Transmission from a 1976 Camaro. He said it runs and the transmission was rebuilt 30k ago.

I had no idea what to do with this thing so I came to the Camaro Forums!

I've got an ad up online offering it for $500. What is this thing worth? Bottom line, I need it gone by the end of next week. What is the best way to get rid of it if I get no buyers? Will a junkyard or recycle give me money and come pick it up?

Engine is located in Frederick, MD.

I can't post pictures yet, when I get to 3, I will post.

Thanks!

 

Very little interest in that engine and trans, unless someone has the same and wants to stay with a inline 6. Most scrappers would love to have both, but I doubt they'll pay much if they have to come and get it.

 

Thank you for the information, the market is confirming this as I have not seen any action at my offering price of $500.

 

I'd drop the price a couple hundred to see if it goes. It's better than giving it away, or paying someone to haul it off. If I want something gone I list it locally, and keep dropping the price until it's gone. I've got a buddy who does scrap metal, so sometimes I get to a point I give him a call, and just split what he gets for it with him on his next run.

 

That's just what I did. Dropped it to $300 and got a call. We agreed on a price and a time and then he called an hour before and said that he was backing out.

Just dropped the price again to $200. We'll see how it goes. If I don't get any takers by the end of the weekend, I'm giving it away to a guy I know with a restoration & body shop.

 

Here's a pic.

 

Sold for $175, if that information is helpful to anyone.

 

Glad you got it sold, and didn't have to give it away, or pay to haul it off.

 

Me too....thanks for your help!

 

That's interesting. Any updates regarding the pictures. I was browsing some classic Camaro diagrams earlier so I'm in the mood for this stuff right now
