Re: '69 Big block on Ebay... (71-LS5)
The majority of it is a business venture with my dad and brother designing some new parts. We've always had good ideas, and create parts for ourselves... and have talked about trying to make our ideas available to others.. Now we're going to try it. :thumbs:
Plus I'm getting out of the high-speed road thing with my bike, and switching to high speed 4-wheeling with a new Kawasaki Prairie 700. Man, this thing flat flys!! :steering: I've always liked sport ATV's for the speed/fun factor, but never cared for 4x4 ATV until this Prairie. My brother recently bought a Prairie 650 and I got to ride it for a day.. I was surprised at how sporty it was, yet still crawled through mud pits, and streams, and up mountains..etc. The 700 is even more powerful and add to the FUN factor! Now if I can just find a way to turbocharge it?!?! :jester

If only I had $$$. Man...I'd be at your front door this morning. I plan to sell both my 77 and 72 next spring and buy a BB Vert. I would seriously consider yours!!
Good luck with the sale

Re: '69 Big block on Ebay... (Silvr77)
Yea..that's the reason for selling it.. I need the $$. :crazy: Oh well, if things with my new venture work out as I hope, I'll be back in a couple years with either a Mid-60's C2 (most likely my dads... :lol: ) Or maybe a C5/C6... I drove one last week...and WOW..what a performer!! :cheers:

Re: '69 Big block on Ebay... (Burgundy 69)
Actually.... I made a mistake. I got the information from my brother crossed up. It HAD a correct 427 block..which had been rebuilt to 454ci, but about 5 yrs ago, it developed a crack, and it was replaced with a 73 corvette 454 block. He didn't want to spend the money for a 427 block, then to have to modify it to use his 454 parts.
