Default bowtie block "barn find"

while out in Pa, my dad heard of a guy selling a GM block still in the crate. so he went to check it out and this is what he found...........................................





























its in great shape for sitting in the original crate,un-opened since 73. im assuming that the date on the block is july 9th of 72. isnt this what the pro stock guys were using then ?
