First of all, shipping would be prohibitive as this thing has the equivalent mass of a white dwarf. However, I hear there are die hard devotees of reciprocating air conditioner compressors, so maybe somebody into old Jags or Range Rovers would be interested? I also hear tell rock crawlers use them as on the fly tire inflators.
I really don't know what's wrong with this one. It has never worked is all I know. Likely the clutch. I don't want to keep the lump o' slag as my garage is already overfull of Alfa parts that I CAN sell, but either out of laziness or fear I might someday need them, have chosen not to. I also don't want to trash it. And putting it on Craigslist is such a crapshoot. Just wondering if there's a "target demographic" for something as old school as this thing.

Probably be pretty fun to fire out of a catapult. I bet that thing would absolutely murder a car door.

I bet there's instructions on the internet to turn that into some kind of twisted blowjob sex toy.

If it's original equipment, eventually some concours obsessive is going to need it and will be willing to pay appropriately. Also see what other cars would have used it; Ferrari had (much-despised) York a/c compressors in the Seventies. Yes, it's an albatross now, but give it some time and it might actually be worth something.

I would drop it on my own foot whenever I considered buying another car that used one. :-)
Edit: Not that doing so would necessarily stop me from proceeding with said purchase.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. Maybe in my spare time (HA!) I can figure out how to rebuild it.
The Sanden I replaced it with is approximately 1/3 the size and half the weight by the way. I anticipate handling will improve!
