No Sir Tim.
Day 2 is still the plan but with an emphasis on the car returning to bone stock should the original motor be found. It may still be out there since it was pulled in '74. For now, it's getting the solid roller small block, M23 transmission and some rear end upgrades. It'll be jacked on the rear with 50's, have a set of pie crusts up front, receive a host of sun gauges including a pair on the cowl, a vintage ignition, vintage Hurst line loc, vintage rear air lift, vintage slappers and whatever else I can find between now and when it's completed.
I'll chase the second/third owner and the original motor if I can find out where that was and keep a glimmer of hope the motor may still be sitting somewhere. The same goes for the transmission from the car. If either of them are found, they may be reunited down the road. For that reason, most of the car is being restored to look original and that includes the body and interior. Should look like a well optioned Z/28 on steroids, but easily returned to stock if needed.
