Researching history of my car...

[BD104X]

I have a '64 that I would like to find out more about, and maybe if I get REALLY lucky, locate the original motor for. Any tips on a good place to start, maybe a website or something that you guys have had some luck with? Thanks... Bill

If you are looking for block and heads for a motor to have built to correct numbers,
You could try tracy corvette or crane corvette they both have used motors and heads for
sale and possible rebuild with engine number stamping.

Not really looking to correct it, just kinda looking to research the history of the car. If that happens to lead to someone who still has the original engine in the back of their garage, then that's even better!

Tracing a car's history is simply good old-fashioned detective work, starting with the person you bought the car from and working backwards; the NCRS can tell you who the original selling dealer was, and you fill in the gaps. It isn't going to bear fruit overnight - it takes time...LOTS of time. If you want to pay a professional to do it for you, Billy Gould specializes in that (billygould@comcast.net, Auto Ancestry Home).
