So I'm looking at a 1965 vert, number on pad checks with vin so numbers match, it was a 327 350 FI . It was rebuilt years ago and now has a Holley carb. My question is what does do to the value?

there was no 327/350 with FI. it was a 327/375 with FI. just because the stamp matches doesn't mean its a real GM stamp done at the factory. with out clear close up pictures of the pad that's un-painted we can only guess

Default Is this an FI Car

What you are asking is; what is the value of a 65' Convertible (believed to be) an Original FI car that has been converted to a L79/350 HP intake and carb - Correct?

baseline value is the same as a similar condition L79 65 vert. (see hagerty price guide)

it could have more value if FI was confirmed, and even more value if the original FI unit was with the car

1. We need pictures of the car - body, engine, engine stamps, body and vin tags.

good luck

Phil

Thanks, I should have checked the black book, I don't know where I got the wrong info from. So the pad code is F0223HU and it is a 327/350 manual with factory A/C !
Thanks again
