Default Re: LS-6 on Ebay

Bob, I am far from it and there are MANY more people on this web site who know a lot more about these cars then I ever will and I certainly hope that I never come across like I think I do. This is one of the reasons I seldom respond to LS-6 posts anymore. Just because I comment on a car or some parts certainly does not mean I know it all or that I am correct (like 064 vs 772 fans). Many times Chris White straightens me out and on some days I argue with him. I was also not trying to throw a stick at you, only trying to clear the air based on e-mails sent to me.

I only started this registry as I was voluntered for it and since I was already doing it for the purpose of bettering my restorations I accepted. However, my name is used all the time as "he authenticated the car" and before this happened again with this car I wanted to clear the air as people were already stating that off line.

In answer to Charley's comment, it was due to the dozens of e-mails I received from people here and over at Team Chevelle wondering what information I had that I was able to confirm it being the earliest Lakewood car. This based soley on the other thread started here where I commented that I sent him an e-mail and he responded that the car was on it's way. I responded to Bob's requests to me offline in an effort to not start just this very thing and it did anyway. I was in no way saying that Bob was in fact using my name to authenticate the car but that was what several people who sent me e-mails thought I did.

To be honest, I have not even taken a very close look at this Gold car other then to look at some of the underhood errors. I have several cars to restore that pay the bills but help people every day on their cars in an effort to make their restorations better. I don't get paid for that help and do it because I enjoy it. I just didn't want my name pulled into something that I had nothing to do with as this car somehow did. Exactly what I tried to avoid in the beginning. Nuff said, the car is what it is and hopefully goes to a good home.
Rick
