I think we have seen this one before. It's a beauty in that colour.
Now that would keep Goldie good company. It has the cool option wheel covers too.

Just talked to the owner/seller of this car...Sadly, he told me he went to replace a bad freeze plug and found a crack in the block. He had it sold until he found this...now he's not sure what he's going to do...sell it as is or replace the motor and try to sell it again later on. Anyone that has a good spare 383 sitting around...might be a good time to jump in on this one.
Just and FYI for ya'll...Bob

That's not too far from you, right? What are you waiting for, you could probably negotiate that price down a lot.

The car is a beautiful color.
Depending on where and how deep the crack is, it actually may be repairable (or so I've heard) ...at least sometimes.
You still have to pull the engine and strip it all down. And then find a master craftsman who can do the repair. But I have heard of it.
Unless you just HAVE to have a matching numbers car, I thing few people will go through the effort. They will just drop in a "known good" block and be done with it.

Just a quick FYI on this car - I spoke with the owner (Dan) a couple weeks back about it, right after he'd found the block crack. He was very honest about small areas of bodywork and such, and sent a bunch more photos last Friday. Aside from a few typical cracked upholstery seams, it's as nice as it looks in the original shot.
At that time he said he was probably in the $4K range the way it sits. So for someone nearby with a spare 383 sitting around....

But you seemed so....excited? Ready to pounce? Maybe I'm projecting just a bit. 
Here are a couple of the shots he sent me. Look at that engine bay. It's enough to make you weep just thinking about pulling that engine. Looks like it left the factory 3 months ago. Interior is gorgeous too, aside from the typical split seat seams.

Wow!
That paint is fantastic.
You almost have me thinking about it now.

Don't think of it as buying another car - think of it as buying an engine holder for that 383 in your garage! ;)
