<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tracker1</div><div class="ubbcode-body">They knew enough to distinguish the Pilot LS6 as &quot;<span style="font-style: italic">the first U.S. delivered LS6</span>&quot;
keeping in mind there is a Canadian-delivered car with an earlier build date, a fact which I believe only came to light after the MCR story on the car. Beautiful resto on that pilot car by the way.

Thanks for the compliment Des, we appreciate any kind words or constructive ones for that matter.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Regarding the &quot;first (known and documented) US delivered&quot; that is because both Mark and I insisted on it. Even then it was only recently changed in their wording. Neither of us have ever claimed what many ads have stated as it being the &quot;first&quot; but continue to get blamed for it. Anyone who has read the MCR article saw where I stated, &quot;if there is an earlier one, bring it on&quot;, and thankfully Oliver did. Only Chevrolet knows for sure what car was the &quot;first&quot;. I always new about the Canadian car but so many people on TC stated it was a fake and I had a hard time disagreeing based on the build sheet and time line not to mention interviews with Fran Preve. Now I am friends with Oliver and have a new found respect for he and his car and because of this article I had the good fortune to meet him at MCACN.
