Default C2 barn story on Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1815648226

Read the description of the replacement and the "original" engine.
Maybe I am reading it wrong, but is he saying that the "original" engine or the replacement engine has no date stamp . :confused: :confused:

Hope this isn't a dupe....check it out.


whoops sorry wrong forum. Will go to C1/C2.

She's very pretty...

he's saying that the so-called original block has the date stamps, but no serial number stamp. That would lean towards it being a factory warranty replacement block that was used in another car, and never stamped.

Quote from add >> ** with an Un Molested, Un Restored Eight year old Used Corvette **

Boys, that's one of them rare 8-yr. old '67s they used to make in 1994 :lol: :lol: :lol:
...as far as the engine - it's a CE-type replacement block. I'd re-stamp it anyhow. :cheers:

Nice.. very nice. He should have at least removed the intake before spray paintring the block. Too much overspray!!

Actually that overspray would be correct for the car. It amazes me that to have an trophy Corvette that you need to screw it up like the factory did when it was made.
