LS6 Build Sheet

[Brucebodyman]

I can tell you for a fact that the build sheet and car are real. That build sheet was glued to the back of the dr. Door panel when I dropped it off to Joey. I sold that car to Jen-jacs in Georgia back in 2007 I bought it from a friend that bought it in bay city mi in around 1993. I was with him whe hebought it All the sheet metal on that car except for the dr fender where NOS including hood,quarters,door skins and pass fender,trunk. Would have had a NOS drivers fender but when I checked all the boxes when I got it home it had 2 nos pass fenders. The guy I bought it from had it dipped at a place in Detroit. When I sold that car to Joey. It was dipped and epoxy dipped and ready to go. Had the numbers matching M-22 with it. I went back to the guy in bay city that my buddy bought it from and he still had it.

I have the build sheet in question from the start of this thread in front of me and it still has the door panel cardboard on the back of it. Jen jacs cut the door panel around the build sheet.. Better that than risk damage to it.. I bought the car back today. Same as it was when I sold it to Jen jacs a few years ago. Primer faded and dirty but pretty much same shape. With a few extra parts. This car is in the LS-6 registry. And I know the history and previous owners back to the early 90's

Bruce, I'm having a hard time following the ownership history of the car.....You live in Michigan and found the car which was delivered new to a dealer in Michigan. Then you sold the car to Joey in Garden City, GA, then it ends up in Ohio where &quot;Ron&quot; puts it on eBay. You buy it from Ron and the car is headed back or already in Michigan again. Is that correct?

That car has traveled more miles in the past few years than any of mine!

Here's how it goes. Car was sold new in Bay City MI. Car lived it's whole life there. A friend of mine bought it from a guy in Bay City I went with him to pick it up and hauled it on my trailer. That was I think 1992. At the time we picked it up all the NOS stickers were on all the sheet metal panels. Some installed on car some in boxes. My buddy gutted the car to an empty shell and had a place in Detroit dip the car and then had it dipped in e-coat primer. When he got it back it looked like a new body. The car sat that way in a garage until late 2006 or 7 can't remember for sure. He asked me if I would help him sell it. When he told me what he wanted I bought it. After figuring what it would cost to do the car correctly I realized my pockets weren't that deep so I put it up for sale on team chevelle. Joey at Jen jacs called. At the time I had no idea who he was. We struck a deal I delivered the car to him a couple of days before Christmas in either 2006 or 7. I assumed he still had it. Then I saw this thread about a build sheet and recognized it.Thanks by they way to whoever started the thread!!!! I checked the pic I had saved in my computer to refresh my memory and as I suspected it was the car I had sold. So I checked the e-bay ad car was pretty much how I sold it. So since im much better of financially now i thought i would take another shot at it Called the guy went down today and now I own it again. Guy I bought it from today said Jen jacs had it on e-bay about 5 years ago and he bought it from them. Didn't mean to write a book here but hope it cleared up the chain of ownership.

Not that I've ever hear. But - I never worked in a GMAD plant. Flint was a Fisher Body/Chevrolet marriage and was completely Chevrolet managed by the time I started. All the plants I worked in after that were GM Truck and Bus.

I'll add my 2 cents. I have worked for a GM dealership for 32 years and before the Obama/GM debacle we had 3 showrooms and five franchises including Chevrolet. I sold new cars (as id my dad, grandfather, brother) there for quite some time, and am now the wholesale mgr. I also ran the new-car get-ready dept. for 3 years, and like one of the above contributors added, the cars were (I want to say thoroughly) cleaned and prepped before retail delivery. We didn't go as far as removing door panels, carpet, or gas tanks, but any paperwork that was found in the cars was discarded. When the cars arrived on the haulers, the drivers had a manifest with the options listed on it and we at the dealership had to check the car against said manifest to insure all the options for each particular car were present. This was an important step in receiving the cars from GM, because if something was missing (and it was from time-to-time) we only had so long to file a claim with the factory. The driver got a copy and the dealer got a copy after we (the dealer) signed off. We threw that paper in the car, and it, along with anything that was loose or visible to the clean-up dept. was thrown away. When I was in sales and we/I delivered a new car to the retail purchaser, any paperwork the clean-up shop missed was thrown away. Often the customer requested that the window sticker be removed and thrown away. It technically was/is against the law to remove that sticker without the buyer's permission. So the amount of build sheets that do exist today is somewhat remarkable considering the amount of people that had the chance to discard them.
Not to deviate from the subject of this thread, but I feel this is also an important fact and could tie in to this discussion; I mainly collect Oldsmobiles and Lansing built cars (the only factory that produced the &quot;W&quot; cars) have YET to have a build sheet like the above surface. I can't say for sure about any of the Chevrolet plants, but in all the years and all the &quot;W&quot; cars, not one &quot;verified&quot; build sheet has ben found. The &quot;key punch knock out&quot; or &quot;broadcast cards&quot; have, but no &quot;build sheets&quot;, so maybe some of the Chevy plants that build LS-6s could be the same way.
