Famous "Going to get back into the game" custom camshaft up for bid...

I'm sure a lot of you guys have frequented this thread over the past several months:

I had made the decision to build a 445FE for myself and during the dialogue on which camshaft I was going to use, Patrick made the suggestion that I use a flat tappet cam. Knowing how I feel about flat tappets, he went a step further and even made the proposition that he would buy the flat tappet cam of my choice if I would use it in my engine. I accepted. (Hey, who can pass up a free bumpstick?) The terms were that it would have to be a custom cam with my own lobe selections and the core would have to be nitrided to protect against wear. Patrick owned up to his side of the bargain and in just a few weeks, I had the cam sitting on my workbench.

The horsepower parameters have changed slightly for my personal FE engine build and unfortunately it includes stepping up the camshaft a little bit to accommodate the changes.

Upon making this decision, I contacted Patrick by PM and told him about my intentions. I offered to send the cam back to him for use in one of his own toys, or to pay him back the amount that he paid Bullet. Patrick made the following suggestion:

Offer up the camshaft for bid on Club Cobra and let the proceeds of the sale go to Doug's (767jockey) Cobra project that is currently taking place in Ed Comb's shop.

So....

You all now have the chance to own this piece of Club Cobra memorabilia and the best part is that the winning bid amount gets transferred to a good cause.

The cam is a custom solid flat tappet piece, ground by Bullet Cams.

Cam specs are:

284/255/169/.357

284° advertised duration, 255° @ .050", 169° @ .200" with a lobe lift of .357". This cam is ground on a 110° LSA.

The cam core has been nitrided to protect against wear.

This cam would be great for a larger displacement street engine, or would provide a little more "rowdy" results in a smaller displacement engine. If anyone would want to bench race with this particular camshaft, you can contact me and I can give you a good idea of how it would perform in your current combination.

We will let the auction go for 1 week, so it will end 7 days from now (Thursday, October 13th) at 2 PM, EST.

The bid will start at $25 and we will accept bids publicly right here on this thread. The winner by the deadline can pay either Patrick or me and the proceeds will be sent to Doug for help with his Cobra project.
