LOW mileage LS6 chevelle.

[Ls6 Ragtop]

Looks to have hood lock plates on it to me. An aftermarket accessory that unfortunately requires cutting holes in the bottom of the hood to install. Not the easiest to fix properly, ask me how I know.

Not being a Chevy guy I have to ask dumb questions. What locks if any were supposed to be on there? The locks with the cables? I guess I didn't know if any locks came on the car?

Les,
The original GM hood pins were just that, studs protruding from the hood with clips and cables that attach to the core support.
This car looks to have key lock plates on it for an anti-theft measure. No cables and clips, just a flat plate with a key provision that when turned, locked the hood shut.

Les,
This is what they should look like. By the way, NO questions are too dumb to ask. Someone here is always willing to help.

Rick,

I would think this LS6 would be very well known in the Chevelle world? Has it ever been judged and date codes examined? A paint gauge put on it? I checked around on the Chevelle forums and all anyone knows about it is that it was in some magazines and Roger Ausley owned it? The current owner has never put a paint gauge on it and isn't very forthcoming with information? Essentially his position seems to be that the odometer says 4700 miles and it's been in a few magazines pay the 300K and be happy? I have only communicated with him by email and keep missing him by phone.

Les,
It is and has been very well known. I personally have never had the pleasure to inspect the car but I am pretty sure it has been completely inspected and documented. It is what it is and has been around for a long time unmolested and very much a survivor from what I know about it. I have had a copy of the buildsheet for this car as well and long before they were being faked. If you are a serious buyer, you may want to call either Chris or Jeff and talk to them and/or hire them to inspect it for you. Well worth the money.

Who is Chris and Jeff? I have been dealing with someone named Mike on the ebay ad?
