Steve,
Have you gotten all of the information from Kurt when you purchased the car? He had two (2) binders with detailed information on what the German engineer had done to the car to make it 'road race' ready. I recall the notes being German on one side of the page and the English translation on the other. There were two binders full of his notes/pictures. I assume you have the binders?...should have come with the purchase. To my knowledge, Chevrolet did not create road race cars...this car was a stock car that was made a 'road race car' by the German engineer. What is currently under the hood? When I saw it in Indiana (at Kurt's home) it had a high horsepower motor and the original 396/425 block (complete) was sitting on the side. I assume the original block is still with the car? The workmanship on the car is exquisite and the data in the binders is as thorough as deemed possible. This man knew what he was doing to create a 1st class road racer.
