Good question. I think if I actually had the car then I would not mention it and offer him the money. There's always the chance someone could hold it hostage.

But that's my opinion, which I've been told before isn't worth much [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I think anyone offering $15k+ for this motor would have to also own the car, or have a lead on its whereabouts. Not sure who would pay that kind of money for it otherwise.

He set a high price for that he wants the owner of Matching Car to contact him.
Absolutely right imo so that the block does not end up in a clone.
Or that someone buys the block and locate the car and buy it cheap

Many Many things wrong with this,2 bolt block converted incorrectly, wrong main caps,
oil galley incorrect,casting date changed (was L)build date and vin restamped etc.

No valve reliefs in cylinders.

IMO, I don't think the pad stamping is original.
The registry is incorrect on the VIN, it's 9N637393. But the window sticker is a reproduction. Is there other proof the car is a COPO?
I wonder if the block wasn't stamped for the car and somehow they got separated.

Or maybe the stampers weren't completely happy w/ their result and created another &quot;better&quot; forgery leaving this one behind?[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
Below stamping pics are of subject block from the eBay listing.
