Yep, that would be the time period in question And I thought 70 hours was nuts    Glad to be back to a more manageable schedule.
Back to topic.
I also considered a 75 on ebay before I bought my "fixerupper". But, no way would I buy one without going and looking at it. Common sense must prevail.

I bought mine on e-bay without seeing it first.  But I knew it was a basket case.  There was nothing to hide.  But that's a bit different.

Yep, I think if you already can see that it needs attention and it is disclosed to you in the sellers discription then that is Way Different than this guy who is showing you and giving you a good discription and delivering a mess instead. We call that a "Pig In A Poke" around here.

I hope this does not reflect on us honest Ladies and Gentlemen from the great white north for the rest of you folks south of the border. I have sent a message for more info and pictures on the 68 427 this guy has for sale. I also have a brother and my mom and her husband live in Kelowna so I am trying to get some more on this guy. I will keep you all informed.

Hey there 80, did you do the work on the 383 yourself after you got your car or was it done before you got it? Just curious. Been thinking about it.

How about a little lower... like.... by the n?ts...

Unfortunately that is one thing bad about e-aby and others... sometimes if you deal with a live person... you can spot a lier ...

 

Thanks for the tip.. another great part of this site...

Hey Vincent, I bought the car with the 383 in already. I bought the car from my Daughter's fiance and he had it done locally in Calgary. So if I ever need any work done at least I can have the man that built it do the work. I love it lots of power and not to bad on fuel (If I keep my foot out of it . I get approx 450KM (270Miles) out of a tank of fuel. My Monte Carlo (3.8L Supercharged) only gets 550KM( 330 miles) so it is not that bad.

Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.

Anyone who would do that should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, plus an added charge...impersonating a human being.
