&quot;...and now, of course, the real original ZL1 engine.&quot;

before it only had the ORIGINAL engine, now that ORIGINAL engine is <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">REAL</span></span></span>

so, the story tellers before were lying? </div></div>

They believed they had the orig block when it was selling at Barrett-Jackson. A SYC member had a block that was acquired from Lamar and were told it was from # 51. I put Reggie and the member together, the block was bought and repaired. At Barrett-Jackson a attorney called and said he had a client that had the orig block and that he had bought it from Lamar in the 1970's. Reggie then stopped the sale of the car to sort it out. He called Lamar and Lamar said he had several blocks for the car that GM had given him. He also said he still had the orig. one in his shop. Reggie then bought and repaired that one. He as spent a ton of dough trying to do the right thing. If there is any fault it is with Lamar..
