Rarest of the rare !

[nuch_ss396]

Hey all you Z/28 guys out there!

Take a look at this gem I found on eBay. It is an auction
for a complete cross-ram hemi-head 302 engine.

According to Jim Stubbins, it is only one of six known to
exist. What a piece of SHP history. Never really worked to
expectations so I heard.

p.s. See the auction link below the image.

Neat piece Be the first on your block.....

Seeing as it's Heartbeat City selling it, I'm mildly surprised that the starting bid is not considerably higher

Wow, very nice. Let me see now, a very rare motor and x/ram OR a New ZO6 along with a great tropic vacation.

Would this be built from heads etc. bought at Smokey's sale or one of the 2? whole motors? .

George,

You have to actually ask that question?!

Go for the rare motor!

They had it on Ebay a couple weeks ago. The bidding got to $61,600.

$90K for a motor that justs sits on a stand?
I can't see anybody putting this into a car, who would risk starting it?
One more mystery to ponder.

Steve, that's just reality to me, but let me stir the pot here a little -- only for conversation --- We are now shown a Z-28 motor which according to the Add is one of only 6 known. Where are the car's that belonged to these motors ??? There were 69 ZL1 Camaro's produced and it still is not clear how many actual ZL1 engines are out there with all the Marine engines and Others?? produced. If you come across an engine that you can verify was actually in a ZL1 Camaro the value goes through the roof and everyone wants to know where the car is that it came from. Here we see a 90k motor that was reportedly in a 1969 Z28. If there were 6 1969 Z/28's produced with this engine, or as a dealer installed option I think we have a New BIG DOG in the Bow-tie neighborhood. My brother-inlaw recently told me back in 69 he purchased a new Camaro with two four barrel carbs that was badged as a Z-30. It was purchased from a dealer in PA, I'll have to clarify the name of the actual dealer --- could this be one of the same.

From the wording of the auction, I would almost bet they have another engine that is missing the crossram intake. "This is one of 6 engines known with the Crossram and all parts intact. Should you have an intake by itself I would sure like to hear from you."
