Block Search -- ebay Advertiser

[COPOZ/28]

Is anyone familiar with this ebay advertiser?:  thegmparts <thegmp_mu3847nffg@members.ebay.com>

In my search for an appropriately date coded block to replace the '010 CE/NOM in my '69 Z, I've made contact with him -- Gregory is his name.  He's located in Angola IN and apparently has been servicing the Corvette/Camaro guys with his blocks, engines, etc for many years.  When I called and asked him about a casting date coded block I was looking for, he stated he currently has a couple appropriately date coded '010 block that would go with my mid-May '69 POP date.  He also stated he has correctly gang re-stamped blocks to match both the POP code and VIN stamp for many collectors around the country.  Not sure I would go that far, but I would like to know what the "skinny" is on this fellow and if he's an honest businessman who represents his products legitimately.  Thanks.

My advice, run.

Run the CE block and be happy.

Do a search on the site for thegmparts and you'll get your answer. Also, do a Google search on Gregory Long Angola, and you'll get a few legal hits.

1. Be happy with your CE block. It is what is *supposed* to be there.
2. Run from the con artist.

I truly can't thank everyone enough who responded to my posted inquiry.  After doing the recommended search on the CRG website one of you suggested, I read the transcript of the court case against Mr. Gregory Long, and the sentencing handed down to him for defrauding/stealing from unsuspecting Camaro enthusiasts.  Once again, I find myself expressing my gratitude for very high caliber of everyone who is a member of the CRG Forum -- THANK YOU ALL.  Needless to say, I'm not going to do any business with Mr. Long of Angola Indiana.
