[ QUOTE ]
I won't be the one reuniting the engine and the car. I can't justify the numbers he is placing on the cars value. I spoke to the seller tonight about buying the car or selling him the engine. I offered him the engine and the BE 0424 rear and he didn't seem interested in anything but the contact info for some possible documentation on the car. He stated that someone has offered him 90K+ to end the auction early. He didn't appear to care that the engine he lists as "original" is a restamp and didn't see anything wrong with the way it was listed. He says he is ending it early Thursday. He also stated that the car was verified by a "Mr. Lopata" and a "Mr. Cuneen". He said Tim had him just about completely disassmble the car to verify it was original. Is a "base" COPO project with a restamped block/wrong trans/wrong rear worth 90K? Just curious on unbiased thoughts from other members. ![]() [/ QUOTE ] are you not the person stating this information in a phone conversation? |

yes, the phone conversation qoute is between the man with the engine and the man with the car, where as earlier the man with the car posted he never spoke or came in contact with tim lopata or ed cuneen, but the phone conversation clearly states lopata "having him almost completely disassemble the car to verlfy its authenticity" someone is clearly not stating the truth. if the phone conversation in the post is not with the man that owns the car presently and posting in this forum i'am truly sorry for my misunderstanding.
