Default Re: I need help to authenticate a LS6 Convertible

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.

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.

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
