"stage one engine block worth $2500 alone" Maybe to the owner of the car it came from. Good luck with that...
I laughed when I saw that. Dad was interested but we dont have the cash or the room for another project right now. Louie
There was a 73 Stage 1 Riv here locally for $550. It was complete but rusty. It even had the $2500 block in it........
Stage 1 was a $139 Riviera option in 1973 but they only made 1,234 of them. So, it's worth something.
