Listed at L36... but really a L68 tripower.

This is listed as a 427 390... which the L68 427 is without the tripower... however they did not realize that the 400 HP Tripower is a conversion of the 390 HP and is called out as such on the tank sticker --

Original engine and order IO.

Is that typical? That all L68 Vettes will be like that?

Yes, all L-68's are listed like that on a REAL Tank Sticker.

Who knows? But it's curious that the seller doesn't know the true identity of the car when it's right in front of him.

I wonder if I would have made the same mistake?

There have been many, many documented errors on Corvette documentation. I no longer only look for this call it. Too many times has it been inconsistent while the tank sheet has been 100% real and certified by experts. This was hot topic @ Al Grenning's Engine pad and documentation seminar in the NCRS National this past month.
