Re: Red LS-6 on E-bay
 

I vaguely recall that car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

As for the SS/Malibu door panel emblem, I've also seen them the other way. A local guy bought a '70 Malibu from his Grandmother, the original owner. The car had never been apart until he decided to do some upgrades. The car had bench interior and SS panels on both doors. When he pulled it apart, it had a Baltimore build sheet stuck to the inside of the driver's door panel. Matching VIN..........!

Remember guys,..... "Always and Never!"

Re: Red LS-6 on E-bay
 

Festus is right.
It was an early assembly computing error.
Technically,in order to get the new 1970 454 Chevelle/Elcamino,you first had to order the Z-25 396 package,then the Z-15 454 package was added to it.
The B-22 "SS" Door emblems were automatically included with the Z-25 package,and should have been carried over to the 454 option,but it wasn't so in the beginning.
Early in production,all the other Super Sport provisionals followed along with the Chevelle/Elcamino 454,except the door panel callout,from what I have seen.All 6 United States Chevelle Assembly Plants amended this by adding them to the door panels at the trim shop later on,and even to some NON SS cars..even though their paperwork didn't call this out.Chevrolet released a TSB alerting them to do this also.
Canada's Oshawa plant was on the ball and carried over the B-22 addition from the get go on their LS-5's paperwork.(No LS-6's were produced at Oshawa)
It should be noted that in my research that I have only seen two against the norm documented Baltimore Built LS-6's with the B-22 callout on their buildsheets.Both were later production,and both built before and after other cars without them.
Ironically the 1970 Monte Carlo 454 Z-20 Super Sport option reflected the B-22 "SS" door emblem at the very same plants the Chevelle 454 Super Sports were assembled without them.
Beginning in 1971 & 72,ALL Super Sports,be it 454,402 or 350 cid's had their orders corrected to reflect B-22 "SS" door emblems.

Re: Red LS-6 on E-bay
 

Hey Rick this should probally be spun to a seperate thread. I have seen many an L-78 with SS396 door panel emblems, I own one that has had them since day one. My LS-6 was built at Atlanta late April with a 791 interior, it had Malibu emblems. The first thing I did after buying the car from the Original owner was to go to the Chevy dealer and order SS emblems ( May 1977)and install them only to discover the build sheet attached to the right panel. I know there is a lot of discussion as to when and where they were installed.

cowl flapper obviously doesn't work...tach isn't correct either is it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Red LS-6 on E-bay
 

I was kinda waiting to see just what eveybody saw !!! Well Yes the tach is a repop no screws just above the RPM and at noon, But the interior is just funny. This car not only has the rare seat emblem delete but just like the Red GSX protype it has a one off white headliner, visors and trim!!!! That ALL Original Interior statement just sounds of a Plaid pair of pants and white shoes!!!! Doesn't the movie Used Cars come to mind with all the bad statements You read on these adds.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I have had two 70 Mote SS's (still have one) and none had any door emblems at all...... Am I miss-reading something here? Tks,

Re: Red LS-6 on E-bay
 

Sorry,that should read..Z-20 Super Sport option did NOT reflect the B-22 "SS" door emblem..,meaning because the new 454 Monte Carlo did not have the door emblems at all,it could have played a part in why it was ommited on the 454 Chevelle/Elcamino too.

A lot less than what the seller will ask or take! You won't win trying to negotiate in deals like this.

I'd stay away from it unless your looking for a car that will hard to get out of!
