BIG difference between correct motor , i.e. correct dated motor but not original and "original Matching engine."

HA! I *might* vouch for you, Rusty! LOL!!

What happened on the phone the other day? It's like it just faded to black, so I kept trying to call back, and it's like the whole thing was froze up? Then I finally got through, but it was your friggin voicemail?? Maybe some Hillbilly running the show at the cell phone place again??!!

I would keep the car and fix the issues, the way the market is going you won't lose. Anytime i ever bought a car i always figured to spend a few thousand on it as it is never what you expect. There is always an issue with it somewhere. Although it sounds like more than a few in your case, but it seems you bought a potentially nice car.

Charley, You're showing more restraint than I'm capable of. MR 69 HURST has stated his position, and now I find him just plain arrogant. His CAP LOCK B.S.is just plain disrespectful to everyone here (Still dont know why K.P. gets away it).....and he deserves a "time-out"
I am one of the 2nd Gen Legends Judges for the ACA Camaro Nationals at Carlisle. I have also been an expert witness in a Tacoma,WA court case, where a man bought a clone 70 Z-28, sold as real......never have claimed to know it all, however 70 Camaros are of a special interest to me.
All the 70 Norwood Z-28's I've inspected had there VIN #'s stamped on lower rear left bellhousing flange (see pic example below) staring with 10N5XXXXX. The block in question may or may not have a real VIN in that location, but VIN on deck has been added !!!!!!!!
L.A. Z-28's generally had there VIN's stamped on the deck.

I agree, Charley needs to release those velcro straps on his shoes once in a while and kick some boot.

I hope this helps, sorry about the caps, I never relied on the block vin stamp to form my opinion of the originality of this block, I realize it should have 2 additional numerals. If i was trying to hide or fool someone i would not have included a photo of the vin. There may very well be a vin stamp down below, I couldnt see one. I dont think anyone can say for certain that this motor did not come in this car. you can say all you want about the stamp being suspect. I agree the vin stamp is suspect. What i cant answer is who put it there. sm
