Since getting the car home and disassembling it, I do not believe that the motor or tranny are original to the car and I have just purchased replacements with correct dates and casting numbers with no VINS. They are fresh with zero miles. $75K firm. I'm happy to discuss details with any potential purchaser via telephone. Thanks

I've had 2 PM's asking what happened to the original motor and tranny...the answer is I don't know and am still working back through the history of the car. When I bought it, the fellow I got it from wasn't completely number saavy and he originally thought that the '68 302 that was in it was original. I told him that it wasn't and showed him how to read the VIN etc. He gave me the numbers off of the tranny and the date was great, but he couldn't find the VIN number - I assumed he didn't know where to look and thought it was the original tranny - I was wrong When we pulled the tranny last week, we found a Chevelle VIN I think 7K108580). I bought the car knowing it didn't have the original engine and started through the old titles. One call lead to another and I found a friend of an old owner who claimed to have the original block but it was scored in cylinder #1 - he wanted $500 for it, so I bought it and sent it directly to my engine builder. This guy is in the booney's so I assumed he wouldn't try a fast one and for $500 I was willing to take a chance. My engine builder called it a "bad restamp" and trashed it. The original top end was on the '68 motor, so I have that here. My engine builder had a mid June 657 motor so I bought that also and had him build me a 302 at 30 over and we brought the compression down to 10.5:1 to run on pump gas. The motor will be done by mid Jan and will have a 12 month warranty. I am buying a perfectly dated rebuilt M21 from Crash with factory assembly date and codes but no VIN.

I was also asked if I am really firm on the price and I absolutely will not budge $1. I love this car and if I can't get my price I will just postpone the resto and go one more summer without a driver. Frankly, if I could find someone that would do a decent paint job at a reasonable price, I would absolutely keep the car, but everyone I talk to only wants to do show quality work and that's not what I need nor what I wish to pay for if it's going to be driven. Feel free to PM or email any other questions

[Zedder]

Thanks for the interest guys...the car is sold pending payment

congrats on the sale mark,do you have something else in mind?

[Zedder]

It's not gone yet Ron A guy I know asked me to hold the car for him through the holidays while he attempts to unload another car and raise the funds for mine. If he is succesful, it's his car. Otherwise, I am in no rush to let it go and will continue to collect the parts I need to complete it. You should know me by now...there is always something on the line Got a call on a 56K mile unrestored LS6 today

I'll send you some details later today Rick

Those 70 chevelles are nice,and an LS6 is hard to say no too with only 50k miles.Hope everything works out.Ron.

[Zedder]

Thanks Ron. The Chevelle is $90K, so it's out of my price range The Z is still here and it looks like the deal will not happen as the fellow that my friend had hoped would buy his car is no longer interested. Which is OK by me as I got a lead on a body shop that might be able to do the work within the budget that I have for the car. It's funny how these things seem to always work themselves out Maybe I'll need your carb after all Merry Christmas to you!

Rick...here's a link to the pics of the LS6...I'll email you the data on the car for your records...
