This will be my last reply on this matter.I won;t use actual names as I would prefer not to pregidious any pending up coming litigation. I bought this car over a year ago and attached to this car came a very interesting story. As the legend goes two 1970 Nova SS were owned by two brothers. The story went on to say for some strange reason they decided to swap engines in the late 70;s one car being my L78 and the other a L34.After purchasing the L78 Nova with the L34 engine, we made numerous attempts to obtain the info on the other Nova owner to recover the original engine.After numerous attempts and no luck we proceeded to find try and find him on our own. By addvertising his and our car vin no and story we hoped He would see it and contact us.In the search we got a call we were hoping for from a gentilman who claimed to have the L78 block with our vin no. However he knew nothing about our car or the other NOVA SS.Being very sceptical after after hearing the story's on the two cars .After having the block examined we paid for it, feeling confident it was the original motor .We completed the restoration and registered the car for sale at RM auction.Four days prior to the sale we get a e-mail from this so called gentleman posing as a buyer for my car.WE gave all info requested vin numbers casting ect.First thing he proceeded to do was falsely accuse me of re stamping the L 34 engine and dressing it up as a L 78. At this time he admitted to me he was the owner of the other L 34 NOVA SS and he was going to report me for engine restampin.I advised and assured him the L 34 was still safe and untouched in my warehouse and waiting for him upon reaching an agreement. At this time He now declared he had my engine in his car. I was shocked and amazed as I had already paid for and had inspected by a very knowledgeable Chevy guy. If what he claimed to be true I needed proof too pull the car from the auction and deal with the seller of the engine. I told him if in fact this was the case I would be more than happy too make any kind of trade to reunite both cars and engine;S. At this point he started to go sideways and backwards.He said he wanted his engine ,but wouldn't;t return mine nor would he call me or let me call him to discuss the matter. All he wanted was me to give him a price on his engine over e-mail which I would t do until he was able to provide me proof He had mine.What he was able to send me was a picture of top of a engine in a NOVA . I told him sorry not good enough so he sent me two shots of the engine pad with assembly dates and cko suffix ., with No Vin present at all and tried to declare this as absolute proof.What he implied at this point that if he could get his engine because he was financially handicapped and ill for some consideration that there would be no reason for him to send me his SUPPOSED original engine for my car as mine was already correct and his would never leave his car.IN RESPONSE to that I told him I would drop his engine off a cliff and for him to PISS OFF.Then he proceeded to e-mail RM auction and accused us of re stamping the NOVA and RM intern requested proof of this claim of which couldn;t provide.I do have the pictures and e-mails he sent to me and I sent to him which are in safe keeping. I will gladly post the pictures of his so called proof if somebody can advise me on doing so . At this point it is now over two weeks from when he first contacted us you would think by now he could have his engine stamped to match mine.And this is what has started all this nonsense on my car
