TheBMan Posted November 5, 2023 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
Marks71 Posted November 5, 2023 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

Marks71 Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 You’re right, I, like the guy that re stamped it missed that 5 too. 1 Quote

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. Quote

So buyers responsibility no matter what's advertised. 1 Quote
