I am running a simple survey, via the Registry.
Do you have the original block?
I'll be summarizing data from the registry.
As thousands of owners participate in the DeTomaso Registry, it is an obvious source for data like this.
To insure that your data will be correctly counted, Go to: http://www.provamo.com/Members...erUpdateRegistry.asp
To check and review the current selection, go to the link above (login as necessary) and review or enter your block/motor/engine number present, then check/select if you have the block that matches the block number identification plate.
If you have the original block outside the car, but DO have possession of it, you may select that you have the original block. You don't have to have the original block running in the car right now. I know this only applies to a very limited number of owners.
If your car no longer has the engine number plate, but you believe it is the original block select the correct option (Yes or No) from the drop down menu, and enter the number in the field provided.
The survey will count how many owners have indicated they the original block (and have the block number entered.) If the block number is not entered, I think the survey skips the car, but I'm not sure.
If your registry entry does not have a photo of your block number plate (engine bay) and/or a photo of your block number stamped into the block, this is a good time to remind you that you can/should take a photo and send it to editor1@provamo.com.
Results will be announced in a week or so.

P.S.
If you are not currently linked as the owner of your car, there is a simple process to resolve this.
Send a few photos, include at least one VIN plate to editor1@provamo.com and the system will set you up.
