Default Re: LS6 Chevelle registry (long)

Hello Rick, I am new to this sight. I'm looking forward to this registry. I was directed to this sight from my Team Chevelle membership. I have a 66 Chevelle SS. A good friend of mine has what we believe to be a unrestored 56,000 mile LS6. It was sold new at Byrne Bros. Chevrolet in White Plains NY. I am inquiring about Byrne Bros. info. I was wondering if anyone knows how many LS6's they sold and if anyone remembers a White with Black stripes Automatic with 4:10's. This is what my friend has. With what we have decoded so far it is pointing to a real LS6. He bought it in 1988. We have traced it back to 1982. All previous owners say it is a real LS6. The owner of the car that bought it in 1984 can not remember the man's name that he bought it from in 1982 but does remember being told that the car was in storage from 1974 to 1982. Looking under this car supports it not being driven in wet weather since there is no undercoating and the bottom of car is pretty much rust free, barely any surface rust. This spring we are going to start looking for the build sheet. But incase we don't find it we would like to get as much info. about Byrne Bros. or even maybe be put in contact with someone from the Byrne family that may remember this car. And if we are real lucky there may be some documentation lying aroud someplace. If this turns out to be the real deal and we do find build sheet we will be contributing to the registry. I sent a private message to Mr. Arone sice he has a Byrne Bros. camaro asking for any information. I haven't heard back from him yet. As I find out more about car I will pass it along here as well as team chevelle sight. Thank you for your time and all your doing. Looking forward to any info you may be able to share.

Wayne
