1969 COPO engine

[Steve Shauger]

Greg, I see you understand the rules and knowingly posted a for sale ad in a non classified forum. This is very unfair to our contributing members. I was aware and had hoped you would have become a contributing member, but after 6 days you feel you are entitled and don't need to follow the rules.

I have no choice but to remove your post. This site has well established and has maintained a membership of serious hobbyist, historians, restorers, service providers and collectors.

I will be removing it shortly. If you do sell it from the site no need to send any money!!

Not for nothing, but $30 is a VERY VERY small price to pay for having the ability to list an item worth thousands. I completely understand if the site isn't devoted to what you collect....but the item you are hoping to sell... is.

Personally I'd have looked at the $30 as no different than a "listing fee."

Whether your intention was to alienate people or not...IMO that is what you did.

Hopefully the owner of the car and the engine are able to make a deal...but based on this thread...I'd expect that to be a difficult process.

It’s wild to me that someone is so opposed to letting go of $30.

Greg no longer wanted to be a member which I accomodated. What is more important is reuniting this engine with the COPO. The owner of the COPO has been notified and hopefully he will make contact with the engine owner. Also if anyone needs contact information LMK and will, provided you are the COPO owner or represent the owner.

I am leaving this thread up to help reunite the engine & COPO.

Was the VIN on the block found? How was the owner of the car contacted if the VIN on the block was not found?

My understanding is it was known that the engine came out of a silver automatic COPO. This COPO is silver automatic, and has a POP which matches the engine assembly date. To definitively determine the engine VIN needs to be verified. And the story continues....

On account of him not wanting to pay anything.

I guess I am wrong, but I thought the sight allowed in the past one time FOR SALE posts without membership for just this situation ?

I guess we should probably be thankful that the guy skirted the rules and posted anyway. Another COPO car my get it’s original engine.

I think we may miss out on some rare cars/parts if the site does not allow one time posts.
