looks are deceiving L-71

[LS6 RAT]

The engine was pulled by the original owner and a small block stuck into it. This original engine was mounted on an engine stand in the garage of the owner when he died and in need of a repair from a broken piston ring. The widow sold the car to a classic car dealer and stated that this engine was the original engine from the car.
The car is and has all the original unique pieces for a L71 optioned car. The engine pad has original broach marks. I am not questioning the authenticity of the stamping, I am stating that this car with this stamping anomaly and the fact that there is no factory paperwork to verify its options, makes this car somewhat suspicious to collectors with that messed up stamping and no paperwork. This wouldn't be my first choice for an investment quality Corvette.
