1967 427-435 orphaned engine
 

I have been thinking about posting this for many years so here goes. Back in the early 80's I traded for a 67 427-435 engine that was at a body shop 20 miles from my house. I sold that motor a little while later. The person that purchased it was from somewhere in Kentucky and restored and dealt in Corvettes. The guy that picked it up he was driving a one ton Chevrolet roll-back pulling a trailer with a Corvette on each. This man wrote down the vins, convertible and hardtop, this engine could have been installed if I ever ran across the car. I kept those numbers for 20+ years before throwing them away thinking the car was long gone. A few years ago I learned of a 67 that sold and I believe the engine belongs to this car. The car was a block away from my house. It had been in a garage for many years, which I had known of, and had seen setting along the rear wall of that garage. Never thought much about it as I wasn't a Corvette guy. Story was there was something funny with the title. Anyway if anyone has an idea of who in Kentucky may have purchased this engine to I can provide them with the buyer of this cars info. I'm fairly sure the car has since been restored. Thanks

can u pm me the vin? iam looking for mine thanks

I don't have the vin, discarded it years ago. If I remember correctly it had 1,2,4,and 5's in the last six digits.

ok iam looking for 1121xx thanks

Scott, you should x out the last 2 numbers so someone doesn’t try and off load a restamped block on you as you original.

thanks was not thinking about that..

No problem. Happened to a friend of mine with a 68 302

That’s why you never throw anything out. As soon as you do, you’ll find you need it.

Interesting story. Best of luck in your search...
