Don't miss the other Aluminum head ads too as there's some 'interesting' stuff on this page.
I was wondering about the Queen City ad above w/ L89 RS, maybe the car Chuck had a few years back?
Here comes a few more, someone w/ CA connections needs to gain Vins from these old plate #'s!

One says 68 camaro with new L88 $2600.seems like the engine would cost quite a bit. What would a new L88 cost in the early 70s?
I enjoy reading these!

According to my '71.5 Motion catalog a Phase III 450hp 427ci was $1495. So I would say it was probably around that price..

It's funny how many old ads have everything with a 427 in it, with nary a 396 to be found. Wishful thinking/willful ignorance or were there that many 427's back then?

[SS427]

I don't think so Mark. I remember back in the eighties I saw the same thing in my local Mpls Star and Tribune. I looked at literally hundreds of these cars and those advertised with 427's for them most part indeed had them. Many a car was purchased solely for the 427 engine and then another engine was swapped in and the car was sold. At one time I had many 427 engines and cars. I only wish I had kept some of those engines. One was yellow painted 425 hp 427 with a low rise 2x4 with some neat history. Unfortunately I heard the cha ching before I listened to the history so off it went. That was in 1981.
