1970 454

Does anyone know this car or dealt with this seller before?

I'd like to get my hands on a BB chrome bumper car for low to mid 20's (which may be unrealistic). At that price i realize it may need some finishing. This one seems to fit in that category

Do a search for them on the forum. Several people have bought cars from them and had positive things to say.

The write-up makes such a big deal to convincing you that the engine is "likely" the original engine (broach marks, same stamping, etc.) that I have to believe it is just a good re-stamp. Nobody with a REAL numbers matching BB '70 C3 is going to sell it for 20K [unless it is really junk underneath].

A guy in my club got his '69 from them, they were a top notch outfit. Very easy to work with and seemed honest.

I may be wrong, but that's a replacement hood. No chrome trim on the "air vents" and no "454" numerals on the sides of the power bulge. If this is a professional dealer, there's something wrong with that car or he wouldn't be selling it for low $20's. Private party might be another matter.

I would check it out personally to find out exactly what needs "finishing".IF it is minor stuff and it is original engine 454,than it is a very good buy.
