Any chance of this being a true piece of Corvette history?

"THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOLD ME THAT THIS CHASSIS WAS HAND PICKED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE BY DUNTOV, AND PENSKE, WITH INPUT BY GULDSTRAND."

Interesting.....

To find a frame that was actually lined up right and had good welds? Tolerances on them weren't too great in those days. That said, the ad still sounds like .

The fact it's been up for bid and not sold at that price? If it were the real deal it would be in the thousands not hundreds......

Maybe redvetteracer will correct me, but the twin roll hoops went out of spec. before 1968. Are they bolted in? That will take alot of work to the frame itself before you could ever make a racer out of it. /:\
