What a shame, and the looser in all this is the car. Your offer was fair.

A member of this site found my friends 1969 L88 motor three years ago and the car owner and engine seller came to an agreement and that L88 now has its original engine back in the car. The seller was a true gentleman.

It happens, and people often come around in time.

Hey Tim, What were the odds of me contacting you to see if you know anyone with a red L88 missing its original block. I also reunited the original engine for the Black/white gut low mile COPO that Gary H use to own, I sold the engine in 2019 to Rick Hendrick the current owner for $10k. While I was at Hendrick's shop, I got a tour of his collection & did see the car with its restoration engine in it. A personal friend of mine bought both of these engines off of Ebay over 20 yrs ago.
