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.
