No where does the seller say this is a factory 427, in fact his claim is it was a Dealer add on. Interesting that it does sport the proper 1969 Pontiac 427 fender flashes though, would be consistent with a dealer engine switch back in the day. Can't argue with Big Block power regardless.
If he has paperwork on the dealer engine swap then it tends to add some value (it does with chevelles south of the border)... If not, then there's not much added value, but a cool story. There's also a history in the early 70s of dealer swapping out BBCs for smaller engines for reduced fuel consumption in customer cars.

somewhere some factory made those emblems.....car looks like a custom to me,non factory bucket interior,bet its a 307 car,is that price a bit heavy?has black heater hoses!
Those are GM 427 emblems. They were installed in the full sized Pontiac's in '69. I'm really surprised we aren't seeing any documented dealer installed 427 swaps into Beaumonts. It seems like a no brainer to me.

If its a real 427 block, the block is worth something if rebuildable. It would be interesting to get "all" the numbers off the block to "maybe" see what it was originally. What's a real 69 427 worth versus a 1974 454, etc.? Big difference in value IMHO.
He certainly didn't do himself any favors cleaning up the car before taking pics.

I know. You see a lot of this. Take an hour or two to make the car presentable!

Whatever its pedigree ,or lack of, motor looks like a bit of a hotrod! Twisted intake, extractors, HEI fitted, shifter....might be a nice motor. But pricey for canadians...
