The person I purchased my 55 from has a 56 and also has a 312 motor with a fordamatic together on a stand and all he does is  start the motor to impress visitors. He is getting aged plus his wife requires him to care for her .because of her age and health. I feel he will sell me the 312 system, my question is what would be a fair price to offer him, last thing I would want to do would be to insult him  but I don't want to over pay. .The 56 he rarely drives but he is a man that can't sit still. He just purchased a 37 Ford Coupe out of North Carolina and the 37 gets his attention when he has the time.
