I have owned the car about 8 years. I have the Protect-O-Plate and the Chain of Ownership. I spoke to the original owner several years ago. The car has been serviced in the past by Kevin Mackay at Corvette Repair and he can be contacted at www.corvetterepair.com for a reference. The motor was professionally rebuilt in 2002. Every effort was made to keep it as close as possible to the original internal specifications. The suspension was rebuilt in 2002, the differential was overhauled as well. It was born with and presently has a 4.56 rear end. The car has open chamber heads on it right now. Based on its build date it should have the closed chamber style heads which were installed when I purchased it. I also have four redline tires and the stock exhaust manifolds. As you can see from the picture the car has a large side exhaust system. The headers and side pipes are made by OK Kustom and are very rare. They actually have a GM part numbers stamped on them and were sold at the dealership back in the day. Obviously this car was born with rear exhaust and can easily be converted back. The mileage indicates 44,000+. (Not presented as actual.) Here are most of the numbers. I know everything is not perfect.

It would make an excellent candidate for someone who wants to do an NCRS or Bloomington type restoration. It's also a fantastic driver as is. The build date on my car is D11 (November 11th). The casting date on the block is J98 (October 9th, 1968). The pad date on the engine is T1024IT (October 24th, 1968). The original motor was blown by the original owner. It was replaced by the same Chevy dealer where he purchased the car. This is a correct non-original motor. I have the Protect-O-Plate with the original owner's name and address. The P-O-P reads "T0809IT." Ironically, without the P-O-P this engine could be passed off as original, not something I am claiming. I have the Chain of Ownership. June 23, 2009. |
