Originality / 69Z trim rings - late build car

« on: December 17, 2010, 01:28:24 PM »

i have a 10D (late 69) build car - which trim rings were installed at that time?   

I see the 4 clip rings or the small  inside clips as possibilities. 

Any advise is appreciated

For sure the increased value is realized with the complete orig motor.  You also have to factor in the cost of getting the orig block (and in this case not the whole motor - but block only) back to the condition of what was orig to the car....so in addition to getting the block ready for assembly all the machine work has to be done, correct heads, crank, rods, piston and outside stuff as well to make it 100% correct to get that value Jerry was talking about.  So there are cost that have to be taken into consideration - and the fact is -  if the block is usable in the first place which has to be checked out.   We know the cost of getting the correct dated parts for these cars - no negliable by no standards. 

I do think paperwork is another level of value - possible more important than the block in my opinion. 

I think Van is about right in the range on the fair value - and by the way, there is only one person that would be interested in purchasing that for the value it brings.....

Hope this helps and you car guys work out a fair deal  - mike we applaud you for your efforts in getting this to the rightful owner.

my understanding they are 396/375 hp cars built in GM and delivered that way.....yenko did the conversion at the dealership.  Those special order copo cars had the MV stamped block...

I'm going to look at a set of orig 69Z goodyear tires - are to be new takeoffs from 1969.  To be certain - can anyone pls advise what to look for.  I can also use help on the production information that is also molded into the tires.  I believe they were all Nylon?

Looking for advise to be sure......
