1970 LS6 Convertible

[mrrec]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Chev Connection in Oregon was involved with this "LS6" as well as the 71 Z discussed in another thread. If you don't know about the Chev Connection, I'd suggest you dig deep (actually, you won't have to dig that deep) and you'll be able to make very quick judgements about some of his cars.

It had the 'telltale' Oregon Plate on it!

Did anybody here take a close look at the buildsheet of the Black LS6 convert that sold at Barrett Saturday with the supposedly added on A/C? Charley?

I think that is the one that has been on Ebay several times in the last couple years. If it is, it is also a clone. It has been talked about on here and on Team Chevelle.

Be careful not to confuse this one with the black one that is going off at the Mecum auction in FL in a few days. The FL car has been discussed numerous times and has a well done but very suspect buildsheet as well as a few other noteables.

What is the current "Guesstimate" of how many REAL LS6 'verts were built and how many REAL ONES still exist?

[Mr70]

The owner of that car told a friend of mine the 4492 carb.(Auto Trans.not Manual),& rearend are authentic to that LS-6 Convert.
If that is true,then he buried himself as it's holding a Manual trans.& the CCF 3:31 posi is L-34 specific.

Hey Rick,
I saw that and caught that already. Thanks for the response.
I was more curious if anybody might have a close up pic or looked at it closely as the number of clones with fake paperwork seems to be growing fairly rapidly.

Two questions regarding a certain Portland, OR based creator of popular Camaro, Chevelle, Nova muscle.........

1) Are the bidders pass and all fine print boilerplate, protecting the seller against any any/all created cars and created paperwork. If so many people believe that misc G.M muscle is being "created" by a known party, why isnt some one steping in to end this practice at B/J.

2) Could there also be a likely scenario, where the seller is bidding up and buying his own cars, so as to increase market interest, and then selling same car later at another auction or privately.
If this was the case, how would the seller circumvent the B/J fees ????????

Chuck:
BJ has no real way to police fake or misrepresented cars. Even with "some" dealers having a reputation for it and even having been to court and lost, they keep selling crap. Your scenerio #2 really doesn't work with 18% total commission due if you bought your own. BJ doesn't give up their commission. Does it happen that an agent for the seller buys the car back. Yes. Is it forbidden in the contract. Yes.
