Whats it Worth

[rts]

The owner of the vette is crazy, I would buy it and store it away, and leave the stamper in it!!!
Just knowing I had the original block would just be a piece of mind for me!!!

My thoughts as well.....

I would have Al Grenning inspect the stamping before buying the block.

Al won't give you a definitive answer unless you own the article. Outside of that, great service I've used many times before!

This just happened to me 2 years ago with an L89 block out of a 1968 Corvette. Wouldn't return any of my calls. His car had a restoration block in it but was sold as matching numbers.

It's amazing to me that the majority of people still believe that matching numbers means that it's original.

This is an easy fix.

Buy motor, get certified by Al as Charlie suggests. Its a gamble, as you may be buying a restamp.
Then if positive, post the VIN here. I think your liability towards a lawsuit is low, if its certified.
This thread will come up down the road when the car goes up for sale (they all do). <span style="font-weight: bold">The internet keeps things forever</span>.
Anyone buying an L89 vette WILL do a background search. They will plug in the VIN. That is a big big dollar car.
Everyone will find you on this yenko.net thread.
You can also remind the current owner sooner than later, this will all playout as I have outlined, and shorten the whole dance. He has to deal with you unless he is retarded. I think he will deal with you.

If it was my car I would buy the block (if verified as original). Then you can have it with the car or bury it where no one will find it.
