I saw this for sale on FB for real (as opposed to restamp) money. The surface doesn’t appear to be milled but I’ve never seen a zero prefix on a 70 (or any other) carb code before. The date code doesn’t look to be the same font and the drill holes lead me to believe it’s been rebuilt by a parts house, not restored. Is this thing real?

 

I think you already know the answer to that question.

 

If anyone is interested in this carburetor do your research on CO as it has been discussed before, just saying.....

 

And here is a link to the Buick site where it appears this carburetor went when the seller could not find a buyer on the CO site when it was listed. Notice same pictures and verbiage in the ad at the Buick site......

I kind of did but had to be reminded by others that it appears to be one of the same carbs that started the whole re-stamp fiasco 8 or so years ago. What is surprising to me is it's being listed with no "caveat emptor" and is being presented as real by a person who's name I recognize in the Oldsmobile community. More surprising is the fact that no one appears to be calling him out on it.... except me....
