Several Nice 'advertised as clones' have sold in that price range.

Dave,
Glad to hear you took the comments as only concerns and not slamming or belittling. I think I know who the buyer is and if I am correct he should be ok. Stefano is correct, there have been clones that have sold in that range. I am just finishing an original SS396 convert that was restored as a driver not a show car and feel the car would go for over $100k based on what I have seen them sell for this past year. I remember not too long ago I friend of mine (and sYc reader) paid around $45 for a clone LS-6 convertible and I told him (begged him) not to pay that much. I am now the one that feels stupid. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

At any rate, outwordly it looks like a decent car though the seller should have been more honest. Some of these people are going to get burned badly if they sell to the wrong person. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

I wish more people would rely on these web sites and registries before buying these cars. There are many people that can authenticate the LS-6's for people and many are members here. Take advantage of them. The cost pales in comparison to the savings if the car is fake. jmo

The price reflects what a "built" LS6 conv would cost so it's not a bad buy. But, if the seller represented the car as an original, number's matching, documented LS6 conv then there could be some legal recourse. The Ebay auction looked to be fraudulent. Still a nice car though.

Boy I hope so! If I was the buyer, I wouldn't want to hear " We'll, don't worry, other clones have sold in that price range. So you won't get hurt to much on this car".

No way I could swallow that one. Patrick

I would still like to have an https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif LS6 expert come to see the car if there is a local authority close to Boston... The owner would gladly pay that person - Thanks again, Dave

Wow, you guys are really getting soft. Now its ok to sell a malibu as a documented Ls6 as long as the final bid doesnt reach real car money? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif
