I need help to authenticate a LS6 Convertible

[Jeff H]

The price reflects what a "built" LS6 conv would cost so it's not a bad buy. But, if the seller represented the car as an original, number's matching, documented LS6 conv then there could be some legal recourse. The Ebay auction looked to be fraudulent. Still a nice car though.

Boy I hope so! If I was the buyer, I wouldn't want to hear " We'll, don't worry, other clones have sold in that price range. So you won't get hurt to much on this car".

No way I could swallow that one. Patrick

'Nother gen-x'r here (34 yrs old). Many folks seem to forget that our generation ALSO grew up with these cars! Back in the mid-to-late 80's the LS6, Hemi, etc were out of our reach, but I can tell you that every high school parking lot and cruise spot was packed with "lesser" 68-72 Malibu's, Cutlass, Camaros, etc. Back then these were cheap 15-20 yr old used cars.

We all WANTED the LS6, Hurst Olds, Z28, etc, and we all have fond memories of the 60s/70s cars that were our "first". As more of us get into the position to afford the "top dog" models that we always wanted, I predict the values will stay high.

As for me... forget it. I don't see me having that kind of disposable income for many years to come. Plus, although I really appreciate the historic significance of the "rare" cars, I feel clones are where it's at! I own my car to drive it... when I want, and where I want. Having a high dollar piece would spoil the fun for me... too much worry.

The only sad part is that the collector car craze is even driving the price of base model stuff out of the reach of guys like me. I guess I shouldn't complain though.. I bought my Chevy II CHEAP in 1986, and it is worth much more today.
