Freddie, hopefully if we can find the current owner that statement will be true in the future.

Yeah, but somewhere someone thinks that they already have the original 302 in their car.

Wow, i would hate to be making that call to the owner telling him you have his original engine. I do not think it would go over very well.

Maybe, maybe not as I'm thinking someone has questioned the stamping on the block as its obvious restamp. Many know or feel they have an original Z/28 but know or have been told their engine is subject. Again, you may be correct but I'm hoping if car owner is found he will realize after a review he just hit the lotto with being able to obtain the original born with block. I suspect when it sold at Mecum Harrisburg in 2017 for $61,600 and then sold less than a month later at Auburn Fall $52,250 there was a reason to take a loss.

Lot # S114 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 2-Dr. Hardtop; S/N 124379N621880; Burnished Brown, White vinyl roof and stripes/White vinyl; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $56,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $61,600. With Reserve. – 302/290hp, 4-speed, Rally wheels, Wide Oval tires, spoilers, 12-bolt rear end, Positraction, power steering, power brakes, Hurst shifter, chambered exhaust. – Represented as the matching numbers engine. Spotless, fresh engine bay and underbody. Gorgeous paint and chrome. Excellent restored interior other than an unfortunate large crack in the console. Even gaps. Mostly better than factory and finished in rare, pretty colors. – Quite a bargain for a genuine Z/28 in this condition and with this equipment. First gen Z/28 prices have been retreating a bit over the past year, and this result doesn’t show them rebounding. In a further retreat it went to Auburn Fall a month later and sold for $52,250.

I hope he is sees the value in this. A friend of mine sold a '71 LT1 corvette with a hot rod engine in it and offered the guy the complete original LT1, but the guy was not interested in the original engine. Some people don't seem to get it.
