I'm sure I'm biased, but, an L78 sold at Nickey is certainly a desireable car, even more so with the original motor. [/ QUOTE ] ![]() ![]() ![]() I would agree that honesty is your best approach, and that every effort should be made to keep the car and the engine together. Good Luck!

Totally Agree. What ever you can do to keep the car & engine together, is so much easier now then say a few yrs from now when they are physically seperated and 2 different owners.... Goog Luck. Hope you can land it. Bob

The friend knows what the car is and i'm sure he knows its worth,but, the car belongs to his father and the dad told my friend that he was'nt getting the car in the will. His other son (who isn't even into cars!)is supposed to get the nova. Anyways, i talked to my friend today and he says his dad did buy it new right from Nickey solely for street racing, so he removed any outside/visual clues as to the cars potential. Yes the father still has all the original documentation for the car. My buddy told me his dad might sell the motor out of it because he has a 70 Chevelle 454 he wants to put in it. So should i feel bad if the dad sells me the motor? I don't know. I agree the car should stay together (which is why i would want it!)but if the dad is in the know...why should i let some non-enthusiast schmuck get his hands on that motor?

I would buy the motor at any cost and then work on getting the car in the future. At all cost,keep the motor and car together.

Find the owner another engine to use for his Chevelle and buy the whole magilla in one shot, sounds like everybody would win
