The original seller in MD was Jeff Coats. He bought the car in 1980 and was selling it as an undocumented L34 on racing junk and craigslist back in 2015. A guy on Long Island bought it and was trying to sell the car to a buddy of mine, passing it off as an LS6. Luckily my buddy asked me what I thought before buying it. The title may have been skipped without being registered.

Here is a screenshot of Jeff’s original ad for the car. He was very upfront about everything regarding the car when he was selling it.

Understandably so... who knows what he paid for it. Not only did he end up with a clone but he bought it from an unknown seller passing himself off as the guy on the title? How did he pay for it?

Amazing the lengths some people will go to to fake a car. Changing out the tach, deleting the AC, forging the build sheet....

Talking

Also a skilled inspector would spot the A/C Vents on the dash and block off plates under the hood knowing an LS6 never came with A/C LOL
