LS5 Ragtop on Ebay

[ohhawk]

Very nice car. Would agree with some that the buildsheet needs further scrutiny especially when considering the dollars likely involved on this auction. I'm looking at a copy of a Baltimore buildsheet on an LS5 built one day earlier than this car and there are some differences that could be questioned. Also, would be the first LS5 buildsheet I've ever seen w/o the T60 HD Battery being listed.

Call me paranoid but the font on the build sheet doesn't look quite right.....close, very close, but just not quite right Beautiful car nonetheless, and excellent pictures

I can't see the Buildsheet on this screen at all.It's too dark & far away,so I can't comment on it.
Lakewood and all the other 6 Assembly plants built these in convertible form.Final destination did not determine plant built at.
No LS-5 Chevelle/Elco recieved the 4:10 posi rear on the assembly line floor.They recieved either a 3:31 open,(RU) or a 3:31 posi,(RV).Air conditioning had nothing to do with that.The 4:10 Posi was a solid Lifter engine application...L-78 & LS-6 ONLY.
The seller does not state anywhere that is the ORIGINAL 4:10 rearend,...but the CKK coded 4:10 posi was an 1970 L-78 Chevelle/Elco application only and with a date of 03 23 makes me believe it was stamped to fit the time zone of this particular Chevelle.I would like to know the casting No. & date of that rearend housing.. I would be suspect of that P-O-P for this reason alone.
Although the literature from back then does suggest that the New T-60 Side terminal R-79W battery must be ordered with the New 454's,examples do exist today that show they were ordered with the R-59 Top post battery origianlly.It was not as Mandatory as they led us to believe.

The incorrect stainless pedal trim and other hicups I see aside,I think this Chevelle is a nice looking ride as it stands.

Definitely a fake build sheet!!!!

The font is wrong as Bill pointed out. The tears in the paper are exactly that...a tear. Look at the torn edge and it's white wear the color didn't soak into it. brittle paper doesn't have that same "torn" edge. but there is a dead givaway. Compare the "STATEMENT OF ACCEPTANCE BY CARRIER" in lower right hand corner and compare it to a real build sheet.

Don't mean to talk in code but don't want to help make the fraud's better!
