value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor
 

A friend of mine is building a clone Zl1 with the original motor out of car #40 just wondering what a car like that would be worth.

from a machine shop that had it since 1969. The owner is not really sure how he got it,but it is like a brand new motor.

Is it wrong to ask if there's been attempts to reunite the motor w/ car existing car #40?.

If this is indeed the original engine shipped between the rails of ZL-1 #40 and has not been decked, the value of this motor alone should greatly influence the value of your friend's clone?.

He offered the motor to Heartbeat Jim the owner of car # 40 and jim did not want it. The block has been verified by Jerry MacNeish to be the original block. It has all the numbers and dates,and was found not far from where the car was sold new. So now he plans to make a clone or possably sell the motor.

Hey jl8z28
Thanks for that info.Any spec.on your friends clone?

I just don't get it. How could the owner of ZL-1 #40 not want thee original engine for his car? That's the heartbeat of that ZL-1! Picking that engine up to reunite with the car would have been absolutely, positively, the right thing to have done, no way is that car on ebay worth the money it was bid to without the orginal engine.
