Since we had one of those in the family I'd like have one of those cars. Too bad the stock mkt. tanked.

How many Z-16s have the original blocks? How much does not having it affect the value?

You know, I am just shocked that the NCOA would have had the block decked and restamped.

I would think that most car clubs / owners assoc. would be the LAST to want to have something restampled....

[P.J.]

Why would NCOA deck a perfect original block to a really rare car before exhausting all avenues to find the orig car.Or leave the orig stamp on the motor in order to someday find its orig car.
That does not make any sense to me. Am I missing something

That is just crazy Restamp an original Z16 Block??? I have many original blocks belonging to special cars and they will never be restamped while in my custody.

Restamps dominate the hobby today (Corvettes especially)

I think a restamp can be used in two fashions... 1) a way of falsifying a car, to make the motor appear original or 2) a final touch on the restoration to bring it one step closer to its original condition with no intent to deceive.

As long as the motor is described as being original or not, I see no issues with a restamp. Personally, I'd never own a car with a restamped motor, but each to his own.

It was not NCOA or Mark that decked and stamped the original block to #54. It was someone who owned it after it was given away by NCOA (either the winner or a subsequent person).
