Exactly. I thought the laws were catching up to this kind of stuff??

I know being Canadian, I have the benefit with GM Canada documents. BUT really that just tells you that THAT CERTAIN serial # was this, not that the actual car your looking at is it? With cars hit the $$$ as they are, fake and fraud is going to go up too.

Just wondering, with US cars mainly, how do you know FOR SURE that a LS6 is as represented? I have a couple of friends with cars, first one is a AMERICAN 1970 Chevelle SS396 that was brought up about 15 yrs ago. It was converter FROM a 396 to a 454. Now this owner tells people that its an original 70 SS LS5 with AC and auto? Says they can't prove it's not due to no GM USA records??? Second friend has a 1969 Camaro SS 396 Convertible. It is probably an original car. But how can you tell if it really a BB convert? I believe the car can be decoded as a SS convert, but not sure on BB SS convert?

Thanks, John
