Re: '92 DRM 600 with "Minor Engine Problems" FS on the Bay
 

Ebay listing says, "589 HP and 491 torque,15,000 miles since DRM conversion. More than $110K invested in 1996".
I guess DRM could have easily made it with those hp & torque # in 1996. Sure would like to know more about what's really wrong with it...or at least an estimate of what DRM would charge to make it run again...like Tom said maybe something easy and inexpensive vs timing chain,cam damage. Wonder if JVD is watching this auction???
This could be a good deal for the right buyer:dontknow:

DRM isnt to far from him but they will charge a arm and leg "trying" to trouble shoot the car. I know I saw the recipts from my car when the owner sent his car there to be looked at.

Well, from what Randy said, the owner has been to the shop "recently" and has never brought up the issue.

Well if we could get simple diag done, does it have spark and fuel, we could start narrowing it down.

Doubtful. It has no goodies other than a questionable engine. Reserve is not that far off of his buy it now.

I would really like to bit on this car,i don't think it's worth $25k if the motor is locked up and the crank is junk,basicly i would be buying a rolling chassis for $25k rolling chassis is not even worth $15k.

It gets me to wonder if the damage is not that bad why not have DRM fix it even at a cost of $5-$7k now he'll have a good running car and could ask/get more money if it's a real DRM 385ci.

Does anybody have more info on what happened to the motor?
TIA

That's the issue. We don't know and the owner does not know.

hey it's a new 3 cam LT5
589 hp with 4 cams, so...... 3cammer would a 440hp??????

Re: Back up on eBay" Re: '92 DRM 600 with "Minor Engine Problems"
 

It prolly just dropped a valve....pull motor out and replace piston and fix the head....hopefully that is all that is wrong with it, but my guess is it's not that bad if he shut it down right away.
