69 Camaro COPO on Ebay

[69L72RS]

As a courtesy I did offer the engine to him at $10K (what I had to invest to get it). He declined. The price went to $20K when the first intersted buyer contacted me about me restamping my engine. After a few more people told me I was referred to as a restamper, the engine became no longer for sale. But it was available for inspection.

Tonight I made an offer of $45K for the car to Jim.
The car at present is an X44 body with:
1) NO paperwork
2) a RESTAMPED engine
3) an INCORRECT transmission
4) an INCORRECT rearend
5) in need of a $30K to $40K restoration

I already have a large investment in the engine, rear, and tracking fees for the car. Lot of good my trackers turned out to be.

I think my offer for the car is fair for its current state/condition.

Does anyone think my offer is out of line?

I even offered to let Jim use my engine as evidence in a fraud suit, if he wanted to try to get his money back from the person he bought the car from. He declined that offer earlier.

Both of you need to post a close up picture of the VIN stamping on your respective blocks.

Eric, I don't think your offer is out of line at all, he wants to sell, you want to buy. Has he given you a concrete price? Hopefully the two of you can work a deal.... After looking at the pictures I thought it was mandatory that all copo's came with power front disc brakes. I don't see a power booster on that fire wall..

i thought they all came with power brakes also. no booster but it does have a power brake pedal pad. wonder what happened to the booster?
