69 z with ce block
 

when a 69 Z has a CE block how much does it hurt the cars value ??

Over 50% of '69 z's lost their original blocks. Numbers are probably closer to 70%.

My opinion would be 15% if it's just the block that's missing. More if all the important peripherals are randomly missing along with the block. If it has any dealer paper to support the CE swap and all the important hardware and peripherals are intact, then maybe claw that back to 10%-12%.

Really needs to be assessed on an individual basis. Could be +/- a few points either way depending on the scope of what's all there and exactly what isn't?

going to look at it next week he says its all there he is the original owner he said the engine was replace 3 months after he bought it. been in a inside garage parked for the last 32 years will see

If he has warranty replacement documentation, it wouldn't affect the value much (my opinion). Certainly no more that 10-15% and if I was purchasing I'd add 20% value because of original ownership!!!!

I agree with Steve, so many factors to weigh in. Clearly there has to be a deduct to the value for the original block being replaced, but could be offset by other items.

I just bought a 69 L71 Vette with a CE block but because everything else L71 was there I did not mind. Frankly, like the fact someone did not try and put a restamped block in the car.

Good luck!!
