Re: Ebay "67 Vette L89
[ QUOTE ]
What is a "restoration motor?" Does that mean they restamped the VIN on another engine to match this car???? [/ QUOTE ] Restoration motor is a term for Corvette owners to feel more secure about their restamped engine. I have heard speculations that this car, being a very early '67 car, originally had a 302 Camaro motor in and is not a real BBC car. I do not know much about 67 Vettes... Tim or Jim, do you guys know anything more on this topic?

Re: Ebay "67 Vette L89

Re: Ebay "67 Vette L89
I don't think they are saying it's ok any more than anyone else doing it. They just have "term" for it.
