I'm surprised they are still available at the dealer. I saw one in a '69 Vette at Autofest. Very impressive look and sound.

If you factor in inflation they are probably the same price as they were in 1969. I think back then that engine just about doubled the price of the car.

Wow, I find that hard to believe that they never sold out and looks like a good number ended up in Canada.

One of them would fit nicely between the fenders of my Laurentian. The Chevy guys would likely freak seeing one of those rare beasts in a Pontiac!

The retail on those engines is $32637.50 whlse at $28557.81 and that's what I sell mine for $28000.00, the CMP ad you see, they are selling them at a loss - big loss, there is also a Dealer in Quebec selling it for that price and Jack Carter in Calgary. Some day they will be gone and quess what, the value goes up for the car guys that know what these engines are all about. I'm not into losing money especially on a piece of history.
Love that # 350/427, the highest number I got was #425, installed in a 69 Camaro.
