Oh and Gavin is EMC and has imported and restored more C3s than probably anyone else in the uk.

Unfortunately Corvette parts are one if not THE most expensive parts for American cars. Certainly the specific parts for a Corvette only. Interior part prices are top top dollar compared to other US makes ( apart from Cadillac, again due to the name) which make them expensive here. Just compare prices against Mustang parts, you’re see what I mean.

When I see a car for sale less engine it starts a whole set of questions going. Why would someone remove the engine from a Corvette? - to put in another car? if its a mid 70's onwards that in itself is an odd thing to do as it'll be a low compression smog engine. Is the remainder of the car a 'basket case'? hense 'pulling' the engine. Seems an odd thing to do to a car which would arguably be worth more than any other Chevy vehicle from the same period. The of course, presuming you buy the car, and if otherwise in good condition and would have potentially been more valuable as a matching numbers car (which it won't be now) - I can see plenty of logic I guess if you intend hot-rodding the engine and drive train and the rolling car is cheap enough.

Thanks for the advice I have just spoke to the owner he originally had the engine taken out to rebuild it due to a cam issue and have the gearbox rebuilt he's decided to put the engine in a RS Z28 he's had it super beefed up he is going to send me pictures of the corvette in detail he's big in the track and drift days he supplies race fuel to all the major circuits
Thanks Steve
