Default Re: I need help to authenticate a LS6 Convertible

Interestingly enough at least 4 unknown LS-6 converts have surfaced in the last 2 years and I believe all have been proven or are on their way to be proven real. I completely wrote off one of them as something other than an LS-6 and now the owner has obtained affidavits going back to the early 70's from previous owners so one never knows. Another was still parked in the original owners garage on a main road!

I used to think there would be no more new cars found but because the prices are escalating so quickly, I think people are looking in every barn and open garage door where they used to not pay too much attention. I know I do and more cars are being found because of this. Just look at all the drag cars that have surfaced lately. I just looked at a collection of around 20 cars and a barn full of parts a couple of weeks ago on a farm that no one seemed to know about and it was only 4 miles from the airport.
