Please if anybody can help , where to start, please do.[/B]

You might try contacting Kevin Mackay of Corvette Repair Inc.
http://corvetterepair.com/

He is considered one of the foremost authorities on the BB Corvettes. Generally, if he says it is (what it is?) then it is....

Good luck... GUSTO

What do you mean by "if it is the real thing or not"?

Here are you options:
Sell it
Restore it
Part it out.

Post up some pics of the exterior from all angles, show what's under the hood, make note of as many numbers from the engine you have and show them here. Are there any documents that came with the car? Sales information, protecto plate, etc.? Has it been repainted? Pictures are worth a thousand words... If you don't know how to post them, look here http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1336867
