1967 Z/28

427King...I have to ask...based on your last post, how do you guarantee the motors you sell are not restamped like in this ad? "Factory MN motors for sale, all are rebuilt,3 have fresh ZERO miles one has 100 miles or so.All are intake to pan w dated 840s. All are original pad stampings. Have the following TO128MN TO512MN TO521MN TO528MN....Remember there are NO restamped ,reground motors here.$18500.00 youre choice,offers accepted ". Please understand I am not accusing you of restamping and my guess is that you have seen enough motors to know a real stamping when you see one, it just seems to contradict the comments you just made concerning appraisers???

I used to own the Z in this post and based on the number of real Z stampings that I have seen and the info that has been shared regarding these cars, I confidently sold it as having the original motor and have no second thoughts about it.

There is no need for popcorn. I simply wonder how he feels comfortable making guarantees given everything that has been discussed here. He may just feel comfortable enough with his own knowledge and be prepared to refund monies for anything that slips by him some how. No big deal really as I have never heard anyone say that they have bought a restamped part from him and he has sold more hi-po chevy parts than anyone that I know! So there is no need to take offence or to sit and wait for a train wreck

Thats a good point,i believe i should word the ads a little bit differently as stated above. As far as how do i guarantee them, i offer a full 100% refund if anyone disagrees with my description ,no questions asked. I also document where and who the motors came from for the next owner, and they are assured that is how i bought the motor[s]. If an appraiser is wrong in his "certification",is he responsible for the 400.00 he charged, or the 50K he cost the new buyer if it is proven the motor was restamped in 1978 for example in the above example???

Thanks 427King...that is exactly what I expected and wrote the above post before reading your response. I feel the same way about the Z that I sold, if joe wants his money back I am happy to give it to him...and he has already told me that he is completely happy with the car.

[427king]

If you make a mistake in your representation of the car,you buy it back. If i make an error in my judgement, i buy it back. The difference for the "appraiser" however is that he normally charges a few hundred dollars and if his opinion is wrong he cant just offer a refund of the appraisal price, that may cost someone many 10000s if he falsely[unknowingly] documented a car. Thats why he really cant offer 100% guarantees. Remember that by saying a stamping is the original while the motor is IN A CAR , you are essentially saying the CAR is real as well .

Since I have no takers, does anyone know where I can get the correct fan assembly (5 blade, 4 rivet, 3.25in bolt pattern) and correct water pump for my anomoly? These items should finish up my MacNeish punch list.

I appreciate everyone's input and questions, learned quite a bit about the 67 Z as well as the thought patterns of some of the sYc members.

Shoot first...ask questions later ???

I am sure some one will step up soon.
Give it some time - I might even be able to be convinced.
Why spend more on it, if you are trying to sell it?
Then you will have to ask $93K.

Or - are you taking it off the market?
IMO, Let the new owner find those things.

I am too anal when it comes to these sort of things; if I can find the part I need, I will buy it, can only add value to the car. As I do not NEED to sell it I will continue to attempt to "add value", no matter what car I have, isn't that the whole point of the hobby? Only a flipper would remain satisfied with something less than correct, within reason of course and, no, I am not taking a stab at anyone that flips cars.
