Yes, the 272 block is from a 69 Nova. Notice how the assembly line worker crossed out the partial stamp then re-stamped it.

Zedder,

Sorry, I didn't check my e-mail last night. The paint is 75% original Lacquer in really great shape as are the stripes. It is amazing how the paint survived all these years. In the mid 90's the drivers door and Quarter were scraped in a parking lot accident that required minor bodywork and a Lacquer repaint. The paint matches up very well. There are minor scratches, chips, and dings, characteristic of a 37 year old paint job but it shines very well.

Feel free to call me and we can discuss the car further.

I have been through the entire car and checked everything. It drives remarkably tight and rattle free. All of the front suspension components were like new. The car could use a alignment as I did it by the "sight or string" method. The steering wheel is straight while driving though. The car shifts very tight and smooth as well. Here are some additional pics:


CE Engine Stamp


H 21 9 Casting Date


Shortblock going together


Axle Tube Stamping


Original Rear Gear


Rustfee Original Paint Underbody


Trans Stamping

I will take the car out for a little drive today and snap a few close up pics of the paint finish. The weather is beautiful here today in Houston.

Although Paul and I have never meet I've seen this Camaro many times in person and it is an outstanding Car in every way. In fact I tried to track you down a couple of weeks ago at the Niftee50ees cruse night. Awesome L78 Camaro. Good luck with the sale.

Rick

Thanks Rick, I appreciate the compliment. You are right, I put a lot of time and money into the car locating the correct parts and spending time to research facts about the car. I was thinking of starting my own website based around my experience with the car. After talking to several folks I have decided to lower the price to $69,000 which I believe is a fair price for the car.

I will be looking for you at the next car show. Do you still have the original SS396 70 Chevelle? That car was very nice.

Paul

Thanks. I don't have the Red Chevelle any more. In a moment of madness I sold it. But I do have an Astro Blue 396 Chevelle that is all original except for the paint, documented, 114K miles, engine has never been out of the car and it runs like a dream. It's a little rough around the edges but I don't have to worry about getting caught in the rain.

Good Luck

Rick
