Re: LS6 Conver Chevelle at Volo
Actually I can speak for the Restorer from Green Bay. He is as honest as can be. He built a couple "replica" LS6 Convertibles for customers at the request of the car owners. He had no ownership nor anything to gain from the cars and was told by the owners they wanted them built just to drive for fun at a fraction of the cost of a real LS6 convertible. The first of these "replica" LS6 Convertibles I came across was at Volo about 5 or 6 years ago. It was beautiful Blue with white interior and stripes. I asked Volo Jay if it was documented and he said no; but if it was they'd be asking twice as much. He did give me the name of the restorer in Green Bay. I called directory information to get his number, then called him. This restorer immediately told me it was a replica, and was not happy about the owner trying to mis-represent it. Also there was another "replica" LS6 Convertible that graced the cover of MCR.
I don't know, nor have I asked about the current one at Volo, so can't comment on it. Charley may have the inside info.
In addition, this restorer has restored "real" fully documented with build sheets LS6 Convertibles as well. This I know beyond a shadow of doubt.
