Also looks like the car will definitely be going to a new home

Looks pretty ratty.

I am guessing that since the car has not been ripped apart on the forum that the consensus is the car is the real thing? Have any expert's look at the car and what do they think?

I would think that since at least 4 guys from here have bid on the car, that it legit.

From my understandings, one of the 2 NCOA Diamond judges has looked at the car. I also understand he was comfortable with the car as far as being authentic. It does need A LOT of work (spelled $$$$$$) but otherwise a nice car. I would hope whoever ends up with the car gives it the restoration it will deserves.

I should also add that the car should not be touted as 100% original. There are MANY items under the hood that are clearly NOT original to the car that need attention. All numbers, dates and codes should be verified before the money is paid out.

Rick, I have no opinion either way whether the car is real or not[i just have to respectfully disagree that in this day and age anything can be "verified" without GM paperwork] ,just strange that its been for sale 3 times after the "experts" verified it and wasnt sold before,now everyone wants it,and it hits reserve the first day by bidders from this site ?? Im thinking if i wanted the car that badly id have been there the first day with a hauler,or the six months in between auctions . Honestly i think the reason is people are testing the waters to see if it will gain acceptance without paperwork on this site PRIOR to buying it,rather than buying it offline and showing up with a non documented Ls6 and no momentum [understandable ] ...Just my opinion...

Yountto.. I had forgotten all about the car and in my opinion prices have jumped since it was last for sale. 71 Judge converts are now 200-300K so a orig engine LS6 convert for 75K seems like a deal in comparison.

Plus, like it or not, the opinion of this board DOES bear on the desirability of the car. I'm sure the folks from this board that have expressed interest in the car are aware of who inspected the car [a year, or so ago]. His opinion/comment weighs heavily in a decision to purchase a '70 Chevelle LS6 convertible without paperwork. Nothing trumps original documentation, but I believe CW's opinion is the next best thing. So, I guess I'm agreeing with you that acceptance here is valuable.
