Default Re: Hemmings e news: Ex-racer Chevelle rakes in $1.2

I was never under the impression the car had it's orig. engine. Who cares ? It is it's history. I also heard the gossip it was a LS5 car but there was a very real LS6 build sheet with the car. One person spreading the word at the auction that the car was a LS5 car retracted the accusation when he saw the build sheet. There was then reasoning that the car won races before the LS6 was even released. Someone should be able to confirm that. Then the logic went to there must have been two cars..LS5 then LS6. I think the car brought the money because of it's race history more than anything else.
