Calling all Butler Boys........

.....I have a used Butler MGB front end/axle assembly with coil-overs for sale. If you are interested (and live out West), I could ship it to Ron Butler for assessment, fair price evaluation and any required "fresh" parts. Not looking to make an obscene profit, just want to get a fair (low) price, so I can fund up other projects....

OK Freddie,
I'm always up for spending money. Send me an EMAIL with a picture of what ya got . I currently have the mostly stock suspension, so I might be looking for those upper/lower A-arms and shocks. What are you going to do for a front suspension? Hawk?

thanks,
Mike "monster"

The front end which is for sale is presently on my car. I am looking to unload it (at little or no profit). This is simply to generate enough $ to get a guy with a lift to help me instasll the "new" one I bought from Ron Butler. Butlers sold me his "last" one, only AFTER I got a release from a previous interested party. Once this guy gave Ron the go-ahead---I bought it. Butler has parts for these front ends---but no complete ones left. The "old" one is in fair shape--doesn't have the updated Wilwoods. Looks like MOPARs with a HUGE piston. I can allow that the brake pedal was weird, but if you overlooked (and overrode) that---these brakes HALTED the car BIG TIME.
Now--the old one's lower left wishbone had been hacked upon--needs rewelding or replacemen t. Otherwise it's okay---I'm driving on it!
Butler charged me $2700 for the new one. Inn order to go t Heaven (ar-ar-ar), I should knock off $1200--charge you $1500---which will allow me to ship it to yuz.
Now--how do I separate you two? WhaddoIdo? I cannot ask you to bid against each other. I cannot charge more thanI have just stated. I OUGHT to send it out to Ron and have him fix it. Call me (508) 564-4297. Remember the TD---4 hours.
I'd like to help you both. NOW WHAT?

Boss 351 go ahead,
I am going to pass. This is more than I was looking for and doesn't sound like what I need.I'm really only looking to upgrade my upper/lower A-arms and coil-overs.

Thanks Fred
