Thanks Roger. Not taken that way Stefano. I have had several offers in the 20s but nothing has materialized. I have decided to keep the car and restore it. I have received a plethera of feedback on the car and it has been appreciated. I will keep everybody posted on the progress of the restoration. Roger, give me a call Friday night if you are going to Super chevy. I am traveling all week. Thanks guys.

Clint, you forgot to mention the car is junk and that the motor and rearend have been restamped,and most of the parts under the hood are wrong!But thats ok, If i got ripped off on a car i dont know if i would run around telling everyone that, but this is the wrong place to try to pull something over on people. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and let you tell people that,you came across as such an honest guy that did not know those things about the car, but after researching your info on this website we have learned you know alot more than you say. I do not like driving 10 hours to look at a car that has been falsly represented over the phone,usually i put people through a wall that do that. but hey, no hard feelings. chad

You have absolutely no reason to speak that way about me. Anyone who was interested in purchasing this car was encouraged to come and see it as you did. I, at no point, claimed that this car was numbers matching, a nice car or anything even remotely close. As I told you on the phone, it needs everything and that was what you were coming to look at. Any information about this car that I have aquired has been over the last six weeks. Most of the information has come from guys that post on this sight. I absolutely had no knowledge of a restamped rear although I had my suspicions about the block. I have told many people on this sight in off line conversations about my suspicions regarding the block. There were guys willing to wire the money to me which I refused to do. You wasted your time, not me. As for the "putting me through the wall" comment, you know where I live. Take another five hour drive to get your ass whipped. I think that you are a little out of shape to be making those kind of comments Chad. As for your message in general, I do take it personal. It is guys like you that put a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to this hobby. I have owned a "Super Car" for a total of six weeks in which I have very little knowledge about. Your post makes a guy feel right at home Chad. You need to grow up a little. The world of Super Cars is a small one. It is not good to burn bridges. When are you making the trip again??? Better yet, maybe I can have an "expert" come and look at your cars and see what kind of [censored] I can talk! You know where I live and my number.

If someone who lives close to me would be willing to come to my house and inspect my 12 bolt, I would be willing to pay them for their time. Out of the people who have looked at the car, only Chad made the comment that it was a restamp. Since Chad had to bring someone with him to inspect my car, I do not think that Chad is even remotely close to being an expert. I am willing to pay someone for their time and will freely post the results on this site.

Clint seemed very nice and honest with me in my phone conversations with him. He told me that the block had been decked by a prior rebuild but the vin was still there by the oil filter location. He told me that he didn't think it was the original block based on an early casting date.(jan)
I told him my car's original block is a jan casting, march assembly, and 05 body build date.
Clint's engine is probably original based on that info.
Why would someone go thru the trouble to restamp a vin but not the MN code on the pad? And why use a Jan casting? An uninformed forger would not use such an "early" block against conventional wisdom. Clint also told me that the trans is a 70 or 71 unit. Listen....the car is a full restoration basket case. The value is in the title/vin/tag.
It is a project that will take quite some time and money.

In your add you say original block,at no time you had said to me you thought it was restamped,you did say is had been decked,and the #s by the oil filter had not been touched and in the same sentence as correct heads,you have correct trans,dist,exhaust manifolds and that is all wrong,one manifold did not even have the smog provisions,and the other was wrong for the car,the distributor # is 1111489 and should be 1111499,nos front fenders does not mean ones with surface rust all over them,nos hood does not mean one with bondo on it.also you did not mention the heads are beyond rebuilding,i brought rick nelson with me because he is much more knowledgeable then me on cars. Yes clint, you did misrepresent this car,anyone can pick up a chevrolet by the #s book to easily assist them in identifying these numbers. You do not have to be an expert on supercars, so dont try to hide the fact that you just bought the car 6 weeks ago,and that is why you do not know these things.
