Default Fake corvette

I just recently purchased a c1 barn find. But don’t know what to do. I removed body found the vin number in two places that verified what I thought the car was plus the stamp on rear axle was right for the build date. Problem is when I googled the vin to get more info I found the car was owned and purchased at auction for upwards of $200000. But that car can’t be authentic car what should I do any suggestions?

This Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes. Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see your generation of Corvette listed.

C1 or C2 (1953 - 1967)?:
