Orlando, the original motor is long gone. I believe that the price now is around 500K. Go to proteams website, maybe there is more pictures there.

Are there any pictures of the undercarriage of that car? I believe we outfitted it with one of our new Corvette exhaust systems and since it is such a high profile car I wanted to see how it looks.

At the risk of stirring debate, someone is going to judge the stamp pad at an NCRS event this year (can't imagine who that might be) so how do you think it will go? It is, admittedly, a replacement motor, so, how should it be judged? Based on the pictures (bad move) will it pass muster?

[/ QUOTE ]Mark, based on the rules currently in place, I would guess that the stamp will pass the muster so to speak. At least everyone in the Corvette community knows the history of the car so hopefully whoever buys the car will know its history and buy it for what it is not what they think it is.

I posed the same question about the "Last '67" and got a mouth full by some Proteam faithfuls on this board. I think if this same car or any other bbc '67 was brought to an NCRS or Bloomington meet and the owner wasn't of high status in the Corvette circle, the car would be booted if the pad was found to be a restamp. I am an NCRS and Bloomington fan, I think they're the single greatest organizations for the preservation and restoration of any collector car of any make out there. The system needs clear refinement.
