So, if I'm understanding this correctly. It's Ok with NCRS/Bloomington Judges to validate and certify a restamped date correct motor, ONLY if the car originally came with that particular HP motor? I also get the ZL1 comparisons, but again, a car is only original once and don't the non-original ZL1's pay the price for that? I'm just trying to understand the difference. Is there a one set of rules for Corvettes and different set for other cars?

[/ QUOTE ] You are correct on your first point however I do not believe there are two sets of rules regarding Corvettes. I am not sure how restoration motors are judged with different makes but I can tell you that as far as Corvettes are concerned a no questioned original motored car will always bring more money, sometimes lots more than a restamp. I am not a fan of restamps because as you said things tend to get clouded up when cars change hand, that's why I am for spelling out all the facts regarding a particular car not mudding things up with vague wording such as #s matching etc. The more information thats available the better things will become. I am sure that this is wishful thinking on my part because when money is involved it makes people do things they don't want to do. Quote from Wall Street.
BTW where's the guy who started this whole discussion?
