68 Camaro RS/SS L78 value

The MQ is exactly like my 68s. Different 4 in the vin portion though.

If he's flush enough and act's quickly, it may be best buy the works and swap engines also other parts then sell the eBay car off again later?
Be in contact w/ the seller in case things makes sense to pull the auction but even if the car sells to someone else, there may be a chance w/ them too.
Either way the L78 extra value this car has now was all free!
Best save/file pics and look for similar build stampings to compare...note engine stamp unique deep O also two style 4's plus a wide M and perfect Q tail etc.
Good luck John!

The following has been posted by the seller on eBay. Hopefully it will result in the block returning to its original place.
