Southwind 978 Heater. worth anything?

[combatjack]

hi all. I found a couple of NOS Southwind heaters I was told was for M43. I do not have an M43 so don't need. Does anyone need one or know their value?? Can't find much about them online. Located in Houston, Texas.
Thanks a lot!

Cannot imagine a market for these unless a restorer wants to replace his rusty original in an M43 or M152. I ripped the Southwind heater out of my 1954 M152 and had it for sale for about 1.5 years with a bunch of other stuff. Never thought it would sell, but it finally did! Unbelievable! $20 in two milk crates, completely disassembled, rusty, including the metal box with lid the heater sits in.

But, still cannot sell the big 251 ci engine complete and running ... LOL! Go figure.

I'm lucky you're not local, or I might have another flathead!

It's not THAT far away!
I've seen it run before it was pulled. It has the 100 amp generator and 24v starter on it. Acme trans.

Maybe Hilde and I need to go on a road trip! Wonder if it will fit in her CR-V .

Oh, it would fit.............................. I would strongly suggest you do not take her with you and make sure she is not home when you get there!
