Good 300 Cheap
I have a 300 in good, actually very good, shape available cheap - Bucks county PA.
Runs like a swiss watch - doesn't burn a drop of oil. Probably good for at least another 100K.
I just hate to see a good 300 go to the yard. I replaced all valves and installed bronze guides about 30k ago.
Also converted to Duraspark and NEW, not rebuilt, non-feedback carb with manual choke.
It's in an 85 Bronco, 3 SP OD 3:55 rear - was a daily driver until recently.
The Bronco is not terminal but does have typical rust all around.
Passenger side caliper stuck on me about 3 weeks ago. I unstuck it. It is drivable.
But - Front brakes need attention. And; Steering box has recently developed a leak.
No other issues.
Got three other vehicles just ain't got time for it - Sniff....Sniff

And I can get one local here for the same cost.
I had to ask though because I actually have some folks in Bucks Co. (Haven't seen 'em in years though...) Cousin Vera has a house that neighbors Washington Crossing Park.

Guess only Grumpy old Polecats like us have any interest in the 300.
It seems lifts, big tires and fancy wheels are most important these days.
Here is a simple motor that will take a hard beating and still last forever.
This Bronco has been driven on the NJ, Delaware, VA and Carolina beaches,
and through the bigest blizzards of the NE. What I think made this truck so
agile was it didn't have all the weight a big V8 and auto trans adds.
The guy interested is planning on using it to replace the motor on his chipper.
300s were used a lot in comercial equipmet.
