With a questionable buildsheet and a reproduction window sticker it would seem a good share of the rest of the narrative in the ad should be removed as well.

'70 Chevelles without real docs are called clones in most circles today.

Here is just one comment basically calling this guy full of sh... Alot of people jumped on me , but like I said, some people seem to enjoy bashing and calling people out on cars without the paperork.

Another guy also mentioned the window sticker being a repro...yeah it was, who cares, how many people saved them back in the day?

Alot of you guys know your stuff, there is no doubt about that. But did you some how forget to really enjoy a car? I don't know this dude selling it, and I do not know the car personally...so I won't pre-judge and question him or his car. But I guess it is easier to discredit and question someone, then to take their word for it.

I will NEVER be able to afford a car like this or any other high dollar muscle (Nickeys, Dana, Berger etc...) and I appreciate this site to look at these cars and learn from them, and I appreciate the knowledge, but like I said, unless you know the car is a fake, why question it?

And yes, I spelled "click" wrong, it is clique. So I look like a goof, who cares.

Re: LS-6 on Ebay
 

I think most see this thread as a discussion about an ad not about a car and its condition or correctness. It's a discussion about the car's pedigree. I don't like to see people get misled when it comes to their hard earned dollars. I guess as some have pointed out that in theory because a car doesn't have paperwork doesn't mean it is a clone is true. But with some models ('70 Chevelle SS included) the swindlers in this hobby have now forced the market to say if you don't have the paperwork then you don't have the real thing and it will be priced accordingly. This is one of those models that is guilty until proven innocent.

P.S. I also am not an expert but do enjoy all cars regardless of their pedigree or condition. I just know if I'm going to spend some serious money on a car that is advertised as such and such then you need to prove it to me. I don't see the proof, I see a misleading ad.

I think if you look at the thread you will see much has been learned. This information is valuable to prospective buyers. Also the owner/broker is also questioning the validity of the cars window sticker and buildsheet.

(supersport)
"Just checked in and glad to see the post. I am unsure of the validity of the build sheet(s) and the window sticker is for sure a reproduction that many cars have for show."

Now if you are presuming this is the earliest Lakewood LS6 1970 LS6 (owner/brokers words), then you will be called on it.

Based on what I have seen in the add or written in this thread I would call this a questionable car. Now based on what has been uncovered why would you not question this car. Hasn't this thread provided you with enough information to make your statement kind of weak.

"unless you know the car is a fake, why question it?"

This site is a very valuable tool for everyone in the hobby.

Explain. Just because I don't donate my money to this site, I should feel guilty? Just because I don't "pay-up" I guess you want me to shut-up.

Re: LS-6 on Ebay
 

Exactly!!!

Try to look at it this way. You find your coveted Nickey Camaro buried in a barn, but you don't know if it's real, and the price is within your range. Where will you go for help?

If you come here with some pics, this group will nit-pick that thing to a gnat's asss for you - for free. How thankful will you be if they spot some very small 'nit' that disqualifies the 'barn find' as authentic?

That's why we analyze the cars against the claims made about them, it has saved a lot of people a lot of trouble - someday it might just save you!

Re: LS-6 on Ebay
 

When I found mine, I was scared to death! Fortunately the car had been discussed a bit here. I have been into cars far a long time but not in the last 10 or so years so I was lagging behind on all the things that are important now which were not as important back then (builds, details etc.)
When I started to look a friend of mine who is a member here told me "theres some real smart dudes there that will help you out" so I signed up. The bottom line is from what I knew and from reading the comments here I got the confidence to "pull the trigger on the deal" I was scared, and my car was not the price of some but, still not chump change to throw down on a gamble, I got a great car and you guys helped me. I welcome people to pick it apart then I know what is right and what is wrong.

Just my $.02 fro the other side of the fence

Thanks Guys!!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

Re: LS-6 on Ebay
 

Some real good responses in this thread. When I started looking for a 68 Z28 quite a few years ago, I had MacNeish looking for me too. I told him how important it was to me to have factory paperwork on any car I bought. He told me back then that paper wasn't all that important, as it could be and was being faked. I am glad I listened to him, as my L78 car does'nt have any paperwork. Real born with drivetrain, but no paper. Which is fine by me. Much easier to fake paper than the engine block and stamp.

Re: LS-6 on Ebay
 

I'm sorry for anyone that I offended. You guys provide a great service on a great forum and website. I hope that if I ever do find that Nickey Chevrolet in an old garage on the Northside of Chicago, you guys won't chew my head off and bring back up my posts.

I guess I'm just into my "day-two" type of cars and could care less about numbers matching on this and that, but I realize there is a lot of people who are into having everything correct and they have to worry about some assho??? out there who will scam potential high dollar muscle buyers by cloning paperwork and faking the high end type of muscle cars,and this site no doubt will know what to look for and what is real. I know I would be pissed if I bought what I thought was an SS (SS anything) and it turned out to be just a Plain Jane. So once again, I'm sorry to anyone that I offended.
