I didn't realize the unrestored LS6 convertible needed a complete restoration.

Dave and I spent a lot of time looking over this car. It seemed like a great candidate to either restore or clean up/drive as-is. Had a lot of hard to find parts on it too. I'm fairly certain the owner put smog back on it for the auction which appeared to be good. Had the smog pulley and others. I liked that it wasn't spray bombed and fluffed.

The body work is what scared me. I think there was a lot of major hidden issues under that paint, many of which I documented during the inspection. The hood hinge was welded to the hood and both were painted green showing the paint was applied for the sole purpose of making it easier to sell. It was definitely a good restoration candidate but it would have needed everything and been a very costly restoration to do it right. Bottom line, it was a real car and a good car just very expensive when done but to a collector that is not always the focal point.
