Hi guys
What are the approximate asking prices for grey motors?
From in need of rebuild, to running, to brand new reco's?
Specifically im more interested in ready to run good condition used items but i wouldnt mind knowing about the rest too
Thanks
Cav

Every time this has been asked all i can say is that there are two true answers. First is "they're worth what someone will pay".
Second is that people seem to think they're worth good money, and some people have gotten good money, but finding someone to pay that good money is hard.
Sorry this hasn't really helped!

A guy I know here in Perth has just been quoted $3500 to do a full recon on a grey motor.
Cheers Paul.

$3500? What are they doing, honing with gold leaf?
Is there anything particularly hard to find with a Grey considering you can do a full standard reco on a red/blue for $2000 with cam?
