A Happy Ending for ZL-1 #40 ?

It appears that one of the members here has discovered the original engine to car #40. That's the car that was restored by Scott Tieman and belongs to the owner of HeartBeat City. This NOM car has been offered for sale a few times over the years for well over 1,000,000.00 . Now if a deal can be worked out, the car can get back it's original motor which has been in the same location for the past 37 years less than 40 miles or so from where the car was sold new back in the day. This is just amazing plus the motor is all intact and has never been blown up.

Cant wait to see the price on the car with its original motor now !!! He was buy now at 1,400,000 without the motor.

I think that Jim is afraid to spend the money to get the motor.

what is a fair price for the original block?

Ah, an interesting question, what's it worth....if I owned this engine I would probably try to figure out what the owner of #40 would charge me if I owned the car and he owned the engine.
