Lots of bids, probably for the Mercedes motor with zero miles . . . .

It says it has an auto transmission too, it seems like a great deal at 2700. If it had a title I would bid

Could be a cool start to a street legal self propelled tiny house. Make it out of SIPs for that ultra-lightweight feel. Then conserve space (and time) by making the toilet also function as the drivers seat. </winning>

The part I left out is throwing in another 50-100 gal fuel capacity. Now my indentured driver has no excuse pull over for at least 800 miles. With cruise control you could even switch if someone "needed to take the wheel."
