Question

Answer 1

Not very much, an old engine, is not worth very much.  No one will buy it.  If it is in excellent condition use it.  If you want to sell it, sell it to someone who knows you and the engine and you will get the best price for it.  You can look on Craigslist.com in the boating section and check out what people are selling their engines for,  in different states, and how much they are selling them for.   That would give you an idea on how much your engine is worth.  Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Answer 2

NADA only goes back to 1970 for outboard motors. www.nada.com, the earliest merc motor is a 1974 though.

But really with anything that old, the rule of thumb is that its worth what ever you can get for it.  Check ebay also and see what simular engines are going for.
