My buddy just found these 8 motors at one of the upcoming auctions . He's not a Ford guy so he has no plans of buying them . He told me owner might sell them all as a package deal before they hit the auction . What are these worth these days ? I'm going to offer $1000 for them all and see if he bits .

Pretty cool motors , I have never knew they even existed

These are definitely very cool additions to a Terminator owner's collectibles. At the right price, almost a must-have for diehards.

Were there any others selling at the same time? That would help explain the high price. These are definitely in demand, but that's the highest price I've personally seen. Over time, paying $5K for 8 of them (assuming they're in mint condition) isn't bad. That works out to $625 each. No way you'll lose money. IF you could get an average of $1,000 per eBay sale over time, that a nice $3,000 profit minus the eBay fees.

I knew you bought it, I was kind of laughing because you almost didn't. LOL. You did very well at that price.

No , it was the only 1 . I did a bit of digging on these engines . there has been only 1 or 2 for sale a yearly when it comes to 2003 motor . Previous 1 sold for $1380 8 months ago . 2001 cobra motors pop out more often .
They made 1000 of 2001,
1000 of 2003 and 350 of 2003 Aluminator motor .
I haven't seen any data regarding the Aluminator motors , it's like they hardly ever come up for sale
