Not a surprise if yours was the only original engine Big Block there as not as many out there as some might think. That's why I believe original engine Big Blocks should be of more value and command a premium.

Undervalued for sure. Time will tell, and no offense to my fellow C3 owners, but Chevy built C3's for way too long. If they had made a change after 5 years like the C2's there would be a big difference in prices.

Zoomin I agree undervalued and often overlooked. But the 68-72 is in itself a 5 year year run with the 73 starting with the soft bumper C3 era.There are plenty of 68-72's that have brought big money L88, ZR1, ZR2 and quite a few 435's and LS6's LT-1's. Some very nice LS5's have brought good money lately and believe the original engine no-nonsense LS5's will continue to. There are not as many original LS5's around as some may think.

Drifting
Hopefully soon can actually get mine out. It's currently blocked by another car that we need to work on. Hoping sometime in June to let the car move under its own power for first time in over 20 years. The driving pictures are both great and trying cause I want to drive the darn thing.
