'68 L71 Corvette

[Ralph Spears]

I worked in the service dept at Luby Chevrolet in Boston 1967-72 and never saw a blown engine warranty claim denied it was always the solid lifter engines that blew up there was a corner of the shop where all the blown blocks were located i remember the zone rep would come once a month and look at them and beat on them with a small sledge hammer so they could not be re-used mostly broken valve spring with piston damage or a rod through the side of the oil pan.

This is a solid lifter car, the second piece of paperwork is the “original owner” stating he disagreed with the gm reps denial of the claim of it over revved.

1967 -70 5/50 warranty only time i remember a claim denied if the car had headers on it meaning it was altered from stock

Beautiful car
If a former owners daughter has pics of it being raced "back in the day", maybe the rep had pics of it being raced before the engine blew too...

It was me, looks like there was a ‘58 also I prefer the tri five cars so I guess it was more fitting, thanks for the info and happy new year.
