another stamp number question
I understand the guys that have cars that have their original engines being a little miffed, I have a 57 with the original power train, it does not bother me one bit what someone else does with their car, like I said there are not many cars that are original, I cannot prove that mine 57 is except that I bought it from the original owner who is dead.
I have owned five Corvettes in 15 years, I don't know everything ,that is why I ask questions from people I hope will be helpful, not hurtful.
I will still use the forum as I know there are many members who are realistic about this hobby. thanks Mike

I took the time to read your profile and noticed you had an original power train '57. That has to be an extremely rare situation.
I also have an original powertain '65 but I don't enjoy it near as much as the '63 that I changed the engine in.

This is the internet. It's just a discussion board and when you get this many people in a pile, you're going to have widely differing opinions on any given subject. I wouldn't worry a bit about annoying someone. After all, this is a hobby, not a business. Sometimes, those who squeal the loudest are thought to have the most correct thoughts but that's not always the case.

I believe that's a fraud if you sell it to anyone without disclosing the restamp
That's my opinion. Roger
Roger to answer your question, yes when I bought the car it came with a 62 block, standard bore, which when checked showed two cracks....no I did not weld it, no I did not use it, instead can you guess who I bought a correct block from, I know it is making you crazy because you feel everyone who wants to make their car numbers matching is in it for the money and deception, someone said it earlier " do you know what it cost to bring a car up to NCRS levels.....you probably don't care....I know few people who have made money doing that...oh yes like you ,if I sell the car I will acknowledge NOM
