Default 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.

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!
