LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

What are your thoughts on this car? There is no mention of any documentation. Seller says the block is a restamp. It's at over $100K already.

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

My hat is off to them for disclosing that it is a restamp. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

I don't know anything about the car but it is beyond redicules that the seller has his feedback private!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Maybe "one of the Ricks" can tell us if the car is reported as real? (they were refered to that on another site and I thought it was funny https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif)

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

Here is another one. 2 LS6 convertibles on Ebay at the same time, what are the chances of that? I believe this one belongs to a member here.

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

beautiful car, admitting the restamp is excellent. im confused on why non stock parts like the dynomax mufflers and hurst shifter would be used on a frame off resto, maybe the guy just wanted to build the car to his personal tastes but with that level of restoration and amount of nos parts it doesnt make sense.

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

charlie,thats the clone car that they bought at mecum https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gifi dont know what their trying to pull but if they sell it as real https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gifthey better get a real good lawyer!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

That does look the one from Mecum it was a excellant restoration you had to read the description a few times befor knowing it was a clone. I think it brought 135k plus fees. The real LS6 conv only brought about 20k more.

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

you got it john!!!!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

OK, maybe each car should have it's own thread.. which one is suspected to be a clone? Anyone have any facts or know any history one either car?

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

The green one has docs according to the write-up......just noticed he is going to throw in a neat El Camino if the reserve is met !!

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

GTO_DON,
That blue car is a clone?!? I didn't think anyone would make up a story like that and name names.

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

ITS A CLONE!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I DONT KNOW WHERE HE MADE THAT STORY FROM BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT CAR IS A CLONE! IM REALLY SURPRISED THAT A WELL KNOWN DEALER WOULD TAKE THE CHANCE AT A MAJOR LAWSUIT. THERES OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE OUT THERE THAT THE CAR IS A CLONE! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

I'm curious about what evidence there is that makes it a clone. Lack of paperwork would not. Saying it is a clone and not explaining more clearly is kind of unfair now that I am thinking about it.

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

Ok Don... put yer cards on the table.... why do you think she's not the real deal?

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

OK,I'LL SHOW MY CARDS; I KNOW THE PERSON WHO BUILT THIS CAR! AND SO DO ALOT OF YOU!! HE'S A MEMBER OF THIS SITE!!! HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG,HE SOLD IT AT CARLISLE AS A CLONE TO A DEALER WHO TOOK IT TO MECUM AND SOLD IT AS A CLONE ALSO [ SO IM TOLD BY OTHER PEOPLE WHO WAS AT THE SALE]. THE PERSON WHO MADE THE CAR HAS SIGHNED DOCS TO PROVE HE SOLD IT AS A CLONE. HE MADE THE CAR EVERYTHING IT IS!!!! I'LL TRY TO GET HIM TO POST HERE BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO FAR. IVE TALKED TO HIM ABOUT IT AND HE'S SURE HE'S COVERED. HE'S THINKING ABOUT CALLING THE DEALER HIMSELF BECAUSE I THINK HE'S GETTING A LITTLE https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gifPO'D AT THE WHOLE MATTER. I HAVE NO AXE TO GRIND WITH ANYBODY,I JUST DONT THINK ITS RIGHT WHATS GOING ON!!!!!!!! AFTER ALL ITS A LOT OF MONEY THATS AT STAKE HERE. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

Did the alleged clone car come out of Wisconsin?

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

PENNSYLVANIA.

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

I do not know who built the car but by reading what the seller at Mecum wrote it had to be a clone. There was nothing saying the car was real everything was saying correct this and correct that. Somewhere he would of said it was a real car with correct parts. It was written to confuse somebody who doesnt know how to read into it. If it was real shame on the seller because that car could have brought 200k if it was represented as a real car.

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

I emailed the seller about the car last night. I asked him if there were any documentation and why a restoration of that caliber would have aftermarket parts. I also asked him if the engine that was removed and set aside was still available. Here is his response.
James

It is an un-documented LS6, we have ownership history that confirms it is, but we have no build sheet or protecto-plate to validate the car. Our description states that the original engine was pulled and set aside many years ago when the car was raced (per ownership history) but we do not have the original block for the car. The current engine in the car is a true LS6 4-speed block that is date coded and stamped to look exactly as the original would. Documented LS6 Convertibles have recently sold for $250,000. plus. This car can be bought for considerably less.

We did not do the resto so I can not answer as to why they put on aftermarket exhaust. Shifters are quite often changed to Hurst from Muncie.



Thanks & Have a Happy Day!

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

I WONDER HOW THE BLOCK IS STAMPED EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL IF THEY HAVE NO PROTECTOPLATE TO SHOW WHAT THE ORIGINAL STAMP WAS ANYWAY. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR THAT WHOLE STORY! I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAS EMAILED THEM ALSO AND GOT THE SAME ANSWER! THE GUY WHO THEY SAID HAD THE CAR FOR 30 YEARS IS FALSE AND HE DID NOT EVEN BUILD THE CAR!!! I DONT GET IT! THIS ONES GOING TO GET VERY INTERESTING I GUESS. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

I hate it when I see clone stuff being passed off as original. In the sub-heading he says "True 1970 LS6 Convertible". Later on he says "When this 1970 LS6 was new...". I would interpret those 2 statements as this being a factory original car. He sure likes to use the words "durability" and "reliability". For somebody that didn't restore the car he sure knows a lot of details. Maybe it wasn't David Gilmore the Corvette guy that restored it. Maybe instead it was David Gilmore of Pink Floyd!

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

GTO DONS STATEMENT IS ABSOLUTELY 100% TRUE!!!! KP

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

THIS IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL,I WILL TRY TO CLEAR UP ALL OF THIS CONFUSION. I BUILT THE CAR FROM A REAL SS. IT DIDNT HAVE ANY PAPERWORK OR AN ORIGINAL ENGINE SO I BUILT THE CAR THE WAY I WANTED, WITH MANY ORIGINAL LS6 PARTS THAT I HAD COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO SPRING CARLISLE TO SELL. A CROWD GATHERED AROUND THE CAR ON THE TRAILER, AND IT SOLD IN TEN MINUTES TO A VERY REPUTABLE DEALER. I HAD A LARGE POSTER EXPLAINING ALL THE DATE CODES AND CASTING NUMBERS AND THAT THIS CAR WAS A CLONE AND WAS NOT BUILT BY GM AS A TRUE LS6. THE 3RD PARAGRAPH READ( THIS IS A 1970 CHEVELLE SS CONVERTIBLE WITH ALL VINTAGE LS6 PARTS PROPERLY PRE-DATING THE BODY BUILD DATE MAKING THIS THE MOST CORRECT CONVERTIBLE LS6 CLONE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.)
THE 5TH PARAGRAPH SAID (THIS CONVERTIBLE IS SO CORRECT THAT THE BUYER OF THIS CAR MUST SIGN A LEGAL DOCUMENT THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THIS CAR IS NOT A TRUE LS6 FROM GM.)
THE BUYER SIGNED THE LEGAL DOCUMENT AND A WITNESS SIGNED THE DOCUMENT. THE CAR WAS THEN PUT INTO HIS ENCLOSED CAR CARRIER. THE CAR WAS ONLY AT CARLISLE FOR APPROX. 45 MINUTES ON THURSDAY.
NOT LONG AFTER I HEARD THIS CAR WAS SOLD AT MECUM- ROCKFORD SPRING CLASSIC AS A CLONE.
IM NOT SURE WHAT GOING ON, BUT I PLAN ON CALLING HAPPY CARS TOMORROW.
REGARDS, MIKE

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

I talked to mike a few months back about a red ls6 chevelle and he had told me about this ls6 convertible and had clearly stated to me the car was a clone. That is good you had them sign a letter stating that it was a clone. Chad

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

No worries Don...Charley is just one of those guys that prefers to know the facts and source of the information/evidence before he forms an opinion. He wasn't saying that he didn't believe you...he was pointing out that your post lacked evidence for your claim. Now, there's lots of evidence and it's obvious that your claim is supported by facts/evidence https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

It's a shame this sorta creative advertising goes on in this hobby. The way I read the ad would sure leave me thinking it was a real car...thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for clearly all this up,but can you Please look on your keyboard for the caps lock button....PRESS IT!

Thanks https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

Don... I wasn't "not believing you". I just think it is getting kind of important that we back up our claims and I figured you would clairify your claim once I asked.... AND QUIT YELLING !!!!!

Re: LS6 Convertible on Ebay
 

I personally know Dave Gillmore from Feasterville Pa and I can tell you for a fact that he did NOT restore this car. I do remember the car sat in his garage with a few other Classics for a long time.

A tip of the hat to Mike, Don, and Kenny for being honest and forthright https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

It is a shame that all this tends to put a negative aura around the car, distracting from the fact that it is one gorgeous automobile! If Happy Days had just been more truthful in their description, everyone could be busy drooling over the car and praising it for what it is https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I just pressed my caps lock guys! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gifI wasn't yelling charley,its just easier for me to leave the caps on because im a terrible typer. sorry if thats what you thought. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
