Default Found Engines or Buildsheets links?

Hi,

New here. Just wondering if there is an area on this forum for found items such as blocks with original VINS or found build sheets? i am looking for block/buildsheets for my 1970 LS6 Chevelle - Arlington Car 218676 last six digits of VIN. Thanks in advance.

Good luck finding an Arlington Build Sheet. They're as rare as an honest politician!

nah, brought it up from California 5 years ago. Unrestored hardtop car that the guy had sitting in his garage for 15 years with kids toys and crap stuffed around it. Six owners. Sold new in Yuba City, California. I Managed to find the original owner. He ordered it while stationed in Singapore during the Vietnam War. Car was waiting for him at the dealership (Daoust Chevrolet, Marysville-Yuba City) in June of 1970 when he got back to the States. Only race he ever lost was to a factory L72 Biscayne with big gears he said.

Trans and engine long blown up and gone, but body was solid as a rock - factory primer on the floor and paint markings on the original 4.10 12-bolt and front suspension still. I have a date-coded CRV engine in it now with a M-22 that's also out of an LS6 chevelle. I'd say it's 50% original paint as the quarter on the driver side was replaced due to a fender bender and that back half of the car and trunk lid was blended craberry red. Loves to be hammered on. Active Engines (Dream Car Garage on SpeedVision) built the motor for me. Fun car. Thanks for asking.

Most Arlington build sheets have been found under the tar barrier either on the passenger or driver side front floor. Good luck hunting

This is the most common place I see them or hear that is where they are found, the driver's side foot well.
