[black69]

I myself would want to see the block stamp with less paint on it, to see if the stamp matches the trans. Kinda hard to tell, looks pretty thick. They did not have to do that.

Also another thing I don't like about the ad, is says VIN matching, and not explicityly say <span style="font-style: italic">original</span> motor and trans. I take that as a way they may be covering themselves if found to be non original. If they can't send you some pre-restoration photos, I would not be eager to jump in. For that value they are asking, they would have to prove that is the original engine (dirty pad with good broach marks, old dirty trans with VIN showing, same goes for rear end axle stamp).

I would go look at it for you, but too busy this week (you should ask SSL78 to go look, he confirmed my 69 L78 car before I bought it). On a side note, Volocars is now supposed to be on the history channel, kinda nice to have a hometown car show finally on TV.
