Default Corvette radiator?

I took this radiator out of a '60 Corvette. But I don't know if it was correct for the car. Can anyone identify this radiator ?[IMG][/IMG] and

It looks like the 55-61E copper radiator. Hard to say if it's a real one, or a replacement though.

It looks like it has a tag on the center of the top tank. Can you read what's on the tag?

radiator will work for 55-60, but the radiator mounting strap is for a 58 and later car. correct for a 60.

I didn't even see that it had a tag. The tag says Harrison Lockport NY57K 3141674. Anyone care to guess what it might be worth as is ?

correct, but with a 57K date code, not the original radiator.
