I just bought this "correct" 4 qt oil pan from one of the Corvette retailers for my 65 300HP. The depth of the rear seal is 2 1/4" versus the 2 3/8" for the service replacement pans.
There are 8 originality and 7 condition points available for the pan and plug.
My original pan has a stripped plug threads and some decent sized dents so I will probably try to fix it an eventually use it but for now I am thinking I will use this pan.
I have seen kind of beat up original pans go for about $500 which is twice what I paid for this pan.
I am interested in hearing what members think of it and how they think it will judge.
Here are photos versus an original pan.
