LS6 Dates - Wide Spread - Sound Right?

[rubbinisracing]

Sounds like a made up car to me.

Here's what I'd be asking myself.

Why do I want an LS6? Power, long held desire?

Is it cheap enough that it fills my need, even though, when its time to sell, it may be difficult to move?

If I was the one selling it, do I want to be associatted with a car of unproven authenticity?

Scott, it's hard to say, but, for me, the car would have to be cheap, real cars are available at fair prices.

I always try to figure out how I'm going to get out of something before I ever get into it. Call Stefano and find out what you'll be facing when it's your turn to sell it.

Certainly could be a made up car. However, price is quite reasonable - a bit expensive for a clone, but not outrageous. Quite affordable for a true numbers LS6. Problem, of course, is what you mentioned - I'm not buying it to flip it, but I don't want to be buried in it, either, so I need to be a bit more comfortable with it's pedigree before I commit.

Thanks,

I actually have pictures of a real LS6 engine with a VIN stamp down by the oil filter from a Baltimore Chevelle. There was 2 attempts to stamp the deck first and then a 3rd successful stamping down by the filter. It would be interesting to see if these car's sequence #s were close.

I have a Baltimore LS6 in the shop right now with the VIN by the oil filter. The car has been in the family since new and has paperwork and has not been on the road in a VERY long time. I admit this is the only Baltimore one I have seen like this but nothing look suspicious.

Fellas -

Here are the pics of the pad. I'm no expert, so please let me know what you can tell from this.

Thanks,

hi scott,
so far so good IMO they look real to me with the correct font size and style and it looks as though the block was not machined,also has the bigger Oil Cooler Hole by the oil filter which came on 4 bolt main blocks.
Breaks down for T0403CRR = Tonawanda plant,1970,April 3,CRR is an LS6 with turbo 400 automatic.
10B1771xx = 1=Chevrolet 0=1970 B=Baltimore 1771xx=Vin (should match the dash plate VIN)
