He only wants to purchase from a private party, I would say Larry is more of a dealer to me

Larry is not really a "dealer" although he does buy and sell many cars so you could put him in that category......... One of my cars was once owned by him.

The point of my post being, maybe just reach out to him as he may know of some cars available that might meet the requirements of the OP.

I am going to throw a theory out which I believe there are some who want to sell but waiting for the market to come back. Combined with the aging of our C2 community and next generation who have not the resources or knowledge to keep these relics alive and running…. we are simply leaving them behind to be sold for pennies on the dollar after we leave this planet. I have so much invested in my L72 that I will just enjoy it until I die and let the wife sell it for a couple family vacations without me. Or….. I sell it now for a huge loss (not going to happen). Food for thought 🤔

CCAS does not absolutely guarantee originality or NOM.. it merely increases or decreases faith of what the engine is. understand that an engine with no stamp/bad stamp/mis stamp/great perfect stamp/no broach marks, may or may not be the original engine.
also.. half the claimed numbers matching cars are NOT original engines.. realizing that.. then your search could include those half and increase whats out there for you.
