I can say that until Monday of this week, I was convinced that the one and only original block to #51 resided in Reggie's car and came from Lamar's shop 6 years ago. I am also certain that Jude felt he sold to me the one and only original block to #51 which I in turn sold to Reggie after he did not want to sell me the car 6 years ago. (Restored ZL-1's cars were going for $80K-$110K then) I felt the car and block should be reunited.
When the block was sold to Reggie, it was sold in "as-is" condition as the original block to #51 "to the best of my knowledge" which I put in writing, and I stand by that statement today. Both Jude and I would gladly repurchase the block for what either of us sold it for as it remains very valuable.
I don't blame anyone but Lamar, because he is the only one that knew the true story. Since the block apparently was actually used in the car, perhaps he felt it was OK to claim it was the original one??
