I have been informed by one of his interested buyers that he is now stating that I restamped my block to match the car after I saw the Ebay auction. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif

By saying that, isn't he commiting fraud and defamation of character offenses?

Would it make me a jerk to list the engine on Ebay right next to his auction?

No, it would not make you a jerk. It would show him to be the jerk he is. List your engine. Reference his auction in your listing using his auction number as part of the title. Something like: L72 COPO engine matches car in auction 4573162213. Hope all that info fits in the title. If not use the subtitle.

Then tell the whole story, including the part where you posted the partial VIN back in 2003 looking for the car. You can prove your story. Can he prove where he came up with a mysterious second "numbers matching" block?

Make sure and post when you have listed it. I'm sure a lot of guys will have fun asking him where he got his engine.

Okay, so let's just suppose that someone (me) actually wanted to pay the $90K for his car and then buy your legit L72 engine. What would you ask for it? Really.

I have the cash and am just crazy enough to do it, as I too believe that the car and engine should be reunited, and furthermore, they should both live in my garage. Actually what would it cost, taking into account that I would throw in the re-stamped block that he has as part of his auction, as a sweetener in the deal.

(Folks FYI, I'm new to the board, I was researching the eBay auction and got more than an eyeful here (very well done gentlemen), I'm not him (the seller) I don't even play him on TV, and I have been looking for a legit matching #'s COPO for quite sometime.

Welcome to the site Zigzag. Hopefully you can get it done. You might consider just leaving the stamped engine in the car for awhile and having some fun with it..Like drag racing it at out next Reunion. Just tuck the orig. engine away for when you are ready to restore the car.

Charley has the right idea...wrap up the original engine, and enjoy the car for a bit...and you can thank us for this advice at the drag strip next year at SCR9! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I live near Mansfield and know the guy that had the car listed on Ebay. I would not deal with him. He is a real squirrel and I would not trust him as far as I could throw him. He has a different car everytime I see him. He doesnt care if the car is made up or real as long as he gets his money out of it. He tried to buy my GTO but I would never sell it to him no matter the price. There is a lot of good feedback on him but also some bad. Hope the car and rightful engine can be put together. Jim
