Nort:

Note the "Export Only" comment. Find out if this applies to the trailer and car.

As with any auction it is caveat emptor-buyer beware.

Due diligence is needed.

Nah, it is all crap. They have no 'Ferr-ar-is' listed, right Wasabe? :D :D

What does EXPORT ONLY mean?

The designation of EXPORT ONLY indicates that the specified merchandise cannot be registered, used, or sold again in the U.S. as a result of it infringing upon some federal regulation (ex. quotas, trademarks or safety regulations). Anyone who purchases EXPORT ONLY property must remove it from the U.S. within a specified period of time. Please refer to the U.S. Customs website for detailed export information.

Can you make 980 HORSEPOWER & 825 FT.LBS. OF TORQUE with a single carb? :cool:

I think you may not be able to keep it in the US.

Re: Government Seized Property Auction - Any Good?
 

Sure, why not ? Have you seen some of the Outlaw street or Super Stock NHRA classes ?
A friends SS/GT 454 makes around 700 with a single Q-jet. A NHRA prostock motor makes 1300 with two.
The torque seems a like it should be higher on that motor though.
