Vette(s): 1981, Black/Black, Engine bumped to about 400HP.Ext/int mostly stock.

Two WOWs.

1) If there is nothing wrong with that engine, that's a great price.  However, you rarely get the unknowledgeable seller - you usually are getting what you pay for.

2) What a great looking car MattK.  I have an '81 that has sentimental value that can't be replaced.  However, the '69 convertible has always had the highest droool factor for me of ANY vette ever produced.

There was also a truck 427, nowhere near the same motor. It's a really tall deck configuration.

  AMEN Dave...in 1967 there were 3754 corvettes produced with the 427/435hp. I'd be willing to bet there's over 15,000 out there now. Heck, Proteam has probly sold more than that.

Matt,

Check that phone number again. I tried to call 3 times and a recording came on and said, "i'm sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed". I had the operator try and she got the same message.

Either there is a problem with the number, or there have been so many calls they took the phone out of service.
