LS-6 on Ebay

just because a car lacks complete documentation does not make it a clone

what makes very original cars more valueable is the very fact that they are complete and unmolested, complete documentation is wonderful, but not always available.....
lack of complete documentation does not automatically relegate a car to clone status.

Sorry but my posting above was not condemming the car, only reacting to how anyone could seemingly shoot at the person who had freely offered them their time and help...also the way this whole episode may alter Rick's attitude towards helping others?.

I still like the car and really hope it is truly genuine!. The fake docs were obviously hurting it and getting rid of them is great...now go burn them before they can ever end back up w/ the car!.

While i agree nit picking someones choice of rims may go a bit too far, Im guessing there are people on this site that read these posts to learn about a purchase they are looking to make whether it be a car on the site or a similar car elsewhere. There are alot of knowledgeable people here. If you bring your painting to the antique roadshow and its a fake they will tell you its crap,and if its rare they will tell you its a great find.Here you get it done for free,and you dont have to travel either . Hire someone to tell you what you get here for free and youll see what that means[usually around 600.00 plus expenses]... It would be an injustice to have a clone pop up here on the site and have everyone afraid to offend someone and shut up thus alowing someone to get hosed. There is a pecking order on EVERY site and group you can name , thats society. I cant get a better tee time at the golf course because there are members there that either pay more or have been there longer,its life. Im am certain that this site is responsible for saving more than a few people some serious coin,[and always at no charge]and sometimes you have to upset some people to help others. Bottom line is if you ask questions about your car they will be answered in a nice manner normally. If you bring a clone here and say its a special one off original ,you will be sent packing ,i dont have a problem with that. Maybe whats needed is a site for clones that think they are real,that way members can tell each other what they want to hear because they have alot in common.

You sit back and question every little detail, and if someone is not in your "click" then you doubt them.

Verbatim from the ad-
"This is the EARLIEST KNOWN LS6 PRODUCED AT THE LAKEWOOD ASSEMBLY PLANT!!"

That's a tad more than a little detail and impossible to validate based on the ambiguous nature of this car.I think the quote should have been omitted from the ad along with the bogus docs.If the car was a 12C then maaaybe..

Like Bruce said it's not wise to generalize..there are several clicks on this board! That's what makes it a healthy forum,and promotes hits and generates ad viability.You can even donate to keep the sight running(hint)If we all drank the same kool-aid it would get pretty darn boring..In the end it should be about truth's in the hobby before profit- but I respect those who earn a living flipping-just keep it real!

Just my .02,which is probably .02 more than Rick is making organizing the LS6 showcase at SVF(hint hint)

Exactly Chuck... everyone on here seems to acknowledge that they do not know it all... and rarely speak in absolutes... we just want to see the papertrail if you are claiming something... however if you bring something on here and just ask... What do I have? They will honestly tell you... what it is... whether it is a restamp... whether it is too close to call... or whether it is original... etc... they also will abstain from making calls on stuff they don't know... this is the way others learn what to look for... it makes us better collectors and custodians to the Real Cars...

I think some of you people have a better time calling peoples cars questionable more then anything. You sit back and question every little detail, and if someone is not in your "click" then you doubt them.
