A driver, but one that would hold it's worth and be as original as possible.

Heard back from the owner, it's a 350/350 engine option (think that's the L46?). Already has three parties viewin git and I'm four hours away, so the chance of price drops and it being around when I could make the trip is pretty slim.

In cubic inches a 350 was not available in any C2. A correct displacement would have been 327 cubic inches. However, a 327 with 350 horsepower was available in that year model, which would have been the L79 engine option.

Ya popped on wikipedia dn there's no L46 options, nor an 350/350 engine. L46 was a C3 option, which means the engine isn't original? If so....ugh.
