I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
If this is your private car, I can hardly imagine how it must feel to think about parting with such a piece of moving music, history, living art. I am sorry to be so sappy, but there are few vehicles ever made that are so stirring. I truly feel for you. Anyone who REALLY knows cars knows that this small block Vetter is the true driver's Vette. If I were in a different position financially, I'd BUT IT NOW for sure. What a GEM. I got all gooey just watching the video.
As much as you are drooling and imaging how great it must be to own one, it's 10 times that feeling to actually look in your garage and see that white striped hood just waiting for you to take it for a ride!
@Q1KLT1 Hey I can only imagine. I've owned one great car. It took me years, however, to transform it, and even then it wasn't the car the mighty LT1 was when I was forced to sell it. I take it you currently own one. There is nothing like the sound of those solid lifters and lumpy cam in a small block. It must be a unique pleasure to drive.

Those look like the 1973 black seats I had in my 1968.
