I was talking with my grandfather over the 4th and realized that I misunderstood him on a few things. The car's original motor was ruined by the first owner and the extra motor that will be included in the sale is a real 1963 Corvette 327 block, but isn't the original numbers matching engine. Other than the engine, the rest of the vehicle's drivetrain is stock.
Also at one point along the way the color was changed from Silver to the Red that is painted now. And for those that may ask the original 63 hood was stolen while the car was being painted and replaced with a later model hood.

We appreciate the offers but the only car he is looking to trade for at this time would be a 1950 Mercury Coupe. If he changes his mind I will update the thread.

Thanks Rich!!
The price has been adjusted to reflect the market value. Everything will still come with the car at the new price. Keep the offers coming and let's get someone in this beautiful Roadster!!

Untitled by ryanbabcock06, on FlickrUntitled by ryanbabcock06, on FlickrSince the block in the pictures is not in the car (you can see the flywheel), I'm confirming that is the engine that goes with the car.
However, as I read the date code, it says E 6 5, which decodes as May 6, 1965, and cannot be a 1963 #870 block, FWIW. If I am wrong, someone will correct me.
However, that is a date code 870 block that I am seeking to buy, so feel free to let me know if it could be purchased separately.
