Here's another one!

Nothing to do with me, although I have been to the Volo museum.

The seller claims 250 HP from a 3.1 V6.

I have an email off to the owner.

Here's the reply:

This engine has been bored out, cam, the heads worked over, and dialed in. It it a great driver with over double the factory HP.

Interesting.  Factory was 140 HP.  My math puts double at 280--not 250.

I think the stereo amplifier might be closer to 250 in number than the engine.  There's no turbo on the engine and no nitrous.  Someone's smoking.  I'd want to see a dyno ticket on this one.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

He sent some further emails, but something is off.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but someone will be in for a dissappointment.
