What it's worth?

[Big Fish]

I know a guy that has a 1953 mercury 12 1/2 hp. with the gas tank thats made on top of the motor. He says it runs great and has had the carb. rebuilt but i have not seen it. The only thing that it is missing is the gas cap. He is asking $125 for it. Does anyone know if it's worth anything or not? Or if anyone is interested in it let me know and i'll give you the number.

Run like the wind unless you are collecting antiques. Parts will be hard to come by. And the unleaded gas will eventually get the motor. My 2 cents worth.

Thanks, I hadn't thought about the ebay or the gas.
