Default Re: LS6 vert on ebay. Not mine

I think there aren't many unsuspecting individuals left out there buying LS-6 ragtops...Seller never says any of the right words like 'born with' or 'documented.

Numbers matching doesn't mean what it used to mean. I think most buyers at this level understand this.

Incorrect color for stripes as Forest Green was only offered with white stripes.
Love the sticker on the fan shroud [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Very obvious re-stamped parts

Yeah, shouldn't that sticker be on a Camaro somewhere?

As I learned in the last year you could get stripe colors other than &quot;offered&quot; on these. There are build sheets out there indicating such with special order...........never say never, right Rick?

Understanding that most any documentation can be replicated these days ......still why would anyone consider such a model without an original BS or window sticker?

It is a characteristic of the Baltimore Trim Tags.

Sadly Jim you would be amazed. I went on three inspections this year where someone paid big money for what they thought was a real LS6 convert. Two of these individuals have huge collections and are very knowledgable but not on LS6's and both got badly stung. I just wish they would check with us BEFORE they buy.

I hear you Dick. Not only the one I posted for you but a more recent Black Cherry with black stripes and &quot;D88 Stripe painted black per F&amp;SO&quot; on the build sheet. Just sold from Ill and headed out east.
