Tommy, what is the code on the front pad of the engine block? This is stamped in the metal right in front of the passenger side cylinder head. It has to have the correct code for 375 hp.

A true L78 (375 hp) 67 Chevelle should bring at least 30K any day of the week (and a lot more on a good day), if it is in the condition your car is in.

I left it down in South Carolina with a guy to try to sell it in Columbia at the next big auction. Odds are it is a 396/350, just going by what the guy who sold me the car said (didn't pay 396/375 price, and thats usually a sign it isn't). Which with my luck, and the way things are going, is pure bull****.

So what did you buy? Can you give some examples of what sold and for how much?

All sorts of stuff. 1965 Mustang convertible, 78k in work with receipts full bolt off , complete resto mod, 18k.

One of the sharpest 69 camaro's I have seen in a while went for 15k, 67-70 chevelles half of blackbook value. 2000+ vettes around 12k-15k. 2002 z06 sold for 14k with extreme low mileage. 34 ford pure steel, with ostrich interior only got to 30k, and the guy wouldnt let it go. It was a pure buying sale, horrible to try to sell your stuff there. David Pearsons 1951 ford brought tears, and it is the nicest 51 on the planet.

I can go on and on, it was sad to be honest, but I got some amazing deals.

It is pretty much a wholesale dealers auction. They don't post pictures and prices. Trust me, amazing buying sale.

Yea Sparky, Pearson is awesome. I hang out with him everytime I am around him. He is an amazing person.
