Cool ride, big improvement over what it looked like before with that awful yellow paint and tacky looking engine bay!!

Gary, I would like to know how you can try to pass this car off as something it's NOT? I have know about this car since Jim bought it, must be close to 15 years ago. It didn't have the original motor in it then? Also the Mileage was WAY more than 31 K when he bought it. So now all of a sudden the car has LESS miles AND the original motor??? Sounds a little fishy to me? And to think that the Legendary Motor car trail was used to pick this car up from BRANTFORD.

I don't see the 30K miles statement. Don't know about the numbers matching part. Some now consider a restamp or date correct numbers matching. Splitting hairs if you ask me. Numbers matching should be born with engine, trans, rear etc. in my opinion.

Gary,

Please clarify. Does the car have it's "born with" engine?

This car was at the RM auction in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. Based on what I saw of the mangled cowl tag and the rivets holding it, I doubt the cowl tag was "born with" the body. Highest bid was $68,000 CDN...Owner told me later he was looking for $85,000 CDN. I did notice it had the wrong fan blade and a few cosmetic issues. Owners did not want anyone to get too close to the car. As soon as it came off the auction block it was loaded on to a trailer back to Montreal.

This guy appears to have gotten caught red handed on a bunch of different levels. His real problems will come when and if he actually sells the car based on the BS information. I hope nobody gets taken and don't hold your breath on this guy responding anytime soon.!

It looks to be a nice quality driver restoration. There are a LOT of things that need to be addressed to make it the, and I quote from the Ebay add "This is the best example of any 70 Nova SS in existence period." One guy on this board has about 3 BB Novas that will "eat this cars lunch." "" NONE FINER"" You open yourself up to some critiquing with that kind of claim. Good luck with your sale. m

An inquiry to the N.Y.State Dep't of Motor Vehicles concerning "restamping engine blocks brought this response..............
.................................................. .........................................
The re-stamping of an engine block by the dealer, as you described in your Email to us, is an illegal act.

Specifically, New York State Penal Law section 170.65 states: Knowingly destroying, covering, defacing, altering, or otherwise changing the form or appearance of a vehicle identification number on any vehicle or COMPONENT PART--such as an engine--is defined as forgery of a vehicle identification number, a class E felony, punishable by no less than 1 1/2 to no more than 4 years imprisonment.
