Engine Block Coffee Table


C-Mart

Recommended Posts

I am not set on selling this yet, but will be moving at the end of the month and don't want to move this.

 

Chevy 350 short block turned into a pretty damn nice coffee table.

 

I would call this a 90-95 out of 100. I am kind of a perfectionist though so keep that in mind.

 

Few flaws/things I will do differently when I build the next one, but just saying that so you aren't expecting 100% perfection.

 

Started off as a old shitty short block

Blasted off and primed

I believe I used a zinc heavy primer to help fight any rust that may have been left.

 

Some paint

Some more paint

And voila

I have gotten some pretty ridiculous offers for this, but they are all mean nothing without cash in hand. I know I need a price so let's start with $1000 OBO. May be worth this, may not. Worst case I keep it.

 

Thanks for looking.

You guys are making me not want to sell it!

 

Glass is really think and sturdy.

 

Also the cam and crank are still in there so when you spin them the shotgun shells in the holes move up and down.

 

As of late I have been using it as a alcohol bottle holder.

Very cool.

 

This would look great in one of your garages. ;)

 

You should pick up a spare set of rods/pistons and bolt them onto the crank as well. Give a view of what they look like when you spin it.

 

The cylinders hold my wine bottles.

 

Keep it

 

That's what it is looking like.

 

Just curious, how much does it weigh ish?

 

Two guys can easily carry/move it.

Resurrecting this guy.

 

I moved out of state and kept it with a buddy, but he may be moving soon and I don't want to have to bother him with moving it.

 

I will accept a reasonable offer on this.

 

Buyer must be able to transport. Located in Victorian Village.

Do you know the dimensions?

 

I can get them for you.

 

You stopped by my place to pickup the racing seat sometime back. You can go check it out if you want.

This thing is bad ass. Please don't sell it for less than a couple hundred.

 

This is going to my buddies hot rod shop if I don't get what I want out of it.

It's worth whatever people will pay. I'd cough up $300 and put that in my office at work. Would make such a kick ass talking piece. Would sit a little low for where I'd put it, but it would work :fuckyeah:

 

Make a 4cyl turbo with a Mazda Logo or something on it please ;)

PM me dimensions including height. I might even consider bringing it to my father's assisted living center. Might just be the talking piece he needs to bring back days of modding cars. He is the one who put an early generation intercooler on my L67 GTP back in the day....he also did headers, etc...and pissed mom off for drag racing around town while in his upper 70's :gabe: Those are fucking good times to remember. :thumbup:
