Re: Ebay L78
from the Ebait ad.....
Motor casting date is D26 (April 2, 1966) Motor Assembly TO413EG (TO = Towanda, 413 = April 14, EG = 375 horse 4 speed) Correct 3873858 heads (Dated C186 = March 18, 1966 and D26 = April 2, 1966) Correct 1966 4 speed Munci 21 (stamped P0209 = February 9) Correct 410 posi rear end (dated C156 = March 15,1966) Correct 3613 Holley Carburator (dated 633 = 1966, March 3) The motor has been completely rebuilt and a fresh .30 over...... The motor is a fresh .30 over and was not decked during this process. Every effort was taken to preserve the original pad. Does it clearly say if the motor is original to the car or not? It looks great. "this car is drop dead gorgeous"  no docs?

Re: Ebay L78
According to the discussion on the Chevelle site it is a clone.

Re: Ebay L78
I hope those are shill bidders. The new Ebag system that prevents us from notifying bidders that the car is a fake is really killing me, its like the deaf dog chasing a ball into the street.

Re: Ebay L78
I wonder what would happen if the major car sites: SYC, Team Chevelle, Camaro, Nova, Steves, etc. got together and put Ebay on notice to clean up their act??? If enough support was out there it might make a difference. Seems they need to police their own site or at least allow a public forum to make buyers aware of fraud...it's almost like they don't want to know or even care about stopping the crooks
