If you could find someone to split the purchase of this lot in Houston, there are some engine possibilities involved:

The seller (Snakefart) is moving from Houston to Seattle and needing to sell the whole kit & caboodle as a single lot prior to moving.  $7K for the lot.  Seller has a thread on MM about it:

Can I assume that with a name like "Snakefart" he is ok to deal with?

Doesn't look like he's willing to split it. Doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks for the lead!

He put his full name in the "For Sale" ad.  Apparently "Snakefart" is a 'nickname' from somewhere and he uses it as his username.

I've seen his posts on MM over the years and he always seemed straight up and ok to deal with.

Edit: spelling correction.
