Re: CRV engine value?
Thought I'd close the loop on this story. With the help of the LS6 registry, I tracked down the original car, which is still alive and well in SC, where it was sold new (and a triple-black M22 car at that). For whatever reason, the current owner is not interested in the engine as he believes the one in his car is the original (even though the block has been decked and it's my understanding there are no numbers/letters visible on that engine). When we spoke on the phone, he couldn't seem to get his head around how the motor made it to Michigan when the car spent its entire life in SC.
Anyway, I never would have thought this saga would end this way, but you just never know I suppose.
To his credit, the current owner of the Chevelle did offer me the car, but I felt his price was unrealistic.
So, unfortunately, there is one more highly desirable muscle car that will not be reunited with its original engine anytime soon. Maybe someone can buy the car at a more reasonable price and make a deal with me... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
Time to go back outside to enjoy our amazing 65-degree weather!
