Looks to me as though the current bid of 77K is right at where one would expect to see it sell for. That's about the price I have seen others being for sale at.

Funny,weird or whatever how another 35(?)HP just about doubles the value of the 427 vettes.

My guess is that part of the difference in value was that the additional "35" horsepower came with a "wink" from the boys at Chevrolet. Just my $0.02 (pre-tax, of course)

Actually a real 390 ac roadster will bring alot more than 77K....and a 400 tripower air roadster will be about equal to the 435.... if you have one of these cars market it to the people in florida.

totally different animal... 2 bolt main in the 390 car, 4 bolt in the 435, no tri-power in the 390, hydraulic lifters in the 390 too, solid lifters in the 435. A nice performance car, but nothing like a 435!

Just to make it clear:

L36-390hp
2 bolt main 3904351 block
single 4 barrel

L68-400hp
4 bolt main 3904351 block
3 x 2 bbl carbs

otherwise they use the same cam, lifters, heads and exhaust manifolds

No mention of paperwork. I would inspect the car and look for all the necessary big block signs. Owner states "not a restamp" and this is better than saying just a matching numbers car. The picture of the pad is certainly not good enough to make a determination on the stamp. A better shot would be helpful.

I think the top bid of $83,100 was reasonable for this undocumented big block car. I don't think he'll do any better than that.
