Stumbled up on this eBay auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercu...ssoriesQ5fGear

Look at the tower.... I've never seen one that wasn't painted black. Anyone know what the story is on that?

That is John Brunet's motor. Or one of them.

I've never seen one that the tower wasn't painted black. Did Mercury build them that way?

$3,180 and has not met reserve

spoke with John. he just stripped the paint off. This is a very clean motor. Built by Wayne Seeberg. This is one of his 3 motors. Says he does not need three motors. Has all the updates. Not even broken in after rebuild.

I know what you mean Kip. I too hope this one stays in the hands of a racer.

$3,550 and has not met reserve ... what did these cost new?

[bill boyes]

He wants $4500. for it. He is getting lots of calls. Told me he will not sell it as a toy. If someone wants it to race PM me and I will give you John's cell number.
