TheBMan Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I try to not be critical of other people's cars but since this is an auction, I have to be honest - this one needs some TLC. I'll be following to see the comments and what it sells for. I did notice that the block is stamped CRN which, if legit, would indicate 454, not 402 as the listing claims. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-chevrolet-monte-carlo-24/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks71 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 The script of the numbers on the block (4952) that tie it with the vin don’t look right to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not the factory stamping. It should be 145952 anyway. They missed a number in the restamping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks71 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 You’re right, I, like the guy that re stamped it missed that 5 too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that B-J would represent it as a genuine SS454 when it cannot be proven. I hope they have improved their investigation/verification process since then.

So buyers responsibility no matter what's advertised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
