"Based on our research which included an absorbent amount of time and $$$$$$, which was invested by Rick Nelson and his client, we are very confident that this is a real LS6.


They were even able to find the Original owner's son, who learned to drive a manual trans with this car, as the story goes."


I am curious to why it would take alot of time and money invested if the car had its original buildsheet?? Unless im not reading something right again !

The original build sheet was found on top of the gas tank. There are pictures of the car, tank and build sheet.

It was not in the best shape, but all the pertinent info regarding an LS6, 4 speed was present.

Buddy sent the sheet to a document specialist. The specialist used some special techniques to make the sheet more legible, took many pictures and made slides. The sheet was returned to Buddy, but lost sometime between the time he received it and the time the car went to auction with the rest of his collection.

The Herin family has agreed to provide the "original" build sheet to the current owner if it is ever found.
