And so it continues. Here is his latest reply.. We need more evidence, eBay ad number, pictures, VIN etc. He says it is not this car. Be nice to know, so someone doesn't try to scoop it up cause it's a rare color with low mileage. D


        Sorry Dan, but you have the wrong car. This car and engine was sitting safely in a friend of mines garage in 2003. What state was the car in that you are talking about? Marty

I don't need to prove anything. The pad proves it all.

Kurt,
 I get it, I was just hoping for the eBay number and the dates it was listed, that's all. Or something similar so we can finish this up with the seller. I don't want this car sold as a matching/original numbers car. Maybe it is the original engine, and it was decked. Do we have a picture with it decked? Could you just provide a little bit more info and I will forward it on and we are done?... D

Danny, I could be wrong but I don't think the seller "Marty"wants to know the truth, he's trying to pass off this car come hell or high water. It's all about the Benjamins....

That car was bought out of Texas with 9000 miles had Magnesium 5 spoke torque thrusts, had hood pins, no radio, M22, HD Brakes, Cowl Plenum, The paint was weak but in no way should the car have been painted or restored...
Here are the photos from the Advertisement, last I had the car was in Georgia.








OBTW it has A sedan History as it was campaigned 68-71.

Well I tried to make it seem like I knew what I was talking about.  ;D  Here is his reply..

    Thanks for the info, but this block was never decked or restamped. I am one of the leading Camaro and Corvette enthusiasts in the country. I know an original stamp when I see one. This one has all original broach marks, etc. and, as I said before, this car was safely in my friend's garage during the period you mentioned. Just because your friend claims to have seen a decked block don't make it so, Dan. If you have real proof come forward. If not, good luck! Marty

 NOW is it time to shut him down... ha ha.. Time to pull out the big guns. I guess all those hundreds of blocks he has re-stamped has made him an expert.. D

Kurt, I got a message back from the owner. Here is his reply.

  For once you don't know what you are talking about.... I have all the docs, owners, etc. until this car was new. It has never been decked. I have stamped hundreds of cars, but this one is original.  Why in the world would you think this pad had been decked?  

 I was just curious, as you must have some info from years past about this block? Pictures? I would love to send him a picture or some documentation. Scary, as a friend of mine was starting to look at this car kinda seriously. I have stopped him from purchasing about 6 fake cars. I love this sight, or is it site? It's late  ;D... Danny

The ebay seller, 9603mo, must be used to restamping big blocks then, because as Kurt mentioned the stamps are in the wrong order. That is how big blocks are stamped! I guess a little knowledge can be a bad thing.

This car was purchased by TC member TXSS for only $15,000 in March 2003. He was convinced the engine, although decked with no visible numbers, was the original MO 302 and all the casting numbers and dates he posted then are the same as the Ebay car.

In the picture of the car showing the crusty underhood view with the ribbed valve covers, it appears to have a cowl induction air cleaner in place on the engine but at the same time doesn't appear to have the firewall opening cut out to make it operable..
OR maybe its just my old eyes playing tricks on me again..
