Tom,

Your engine appears to be in good shape and parts complete, although the 
photos are somewhat blurry.


The muffler is missing but a repro can be bought from Starbolt or Hit and 
Miss for around $40

The tank filler spout cap is incorrect, but no big deal.  It should be a pipe 
cap rather than a pipe plug.  An original can be found at some shows.


Take the starting crank and hang it on a nail in your shop and leave it 
there!  Do not use to start engine as you may end up with busted teeth! 

As someone else mentioned the $500 price is a good starting point and offer 
him 4-450 and see what happens.
