I'm guessing it will bring what a killer LS6 will bring. One of my favorite LS6 colors.

Read the last line in the description:
It has Strato bucket seats, F41 special suspension, GW8 and G80 Positraction with 4.10 ratio axle, J50 and JL2 power brakes, power front disc brakes, LS6 454/450 HP 4-barrel engine, M22 HD 4-speed transmission, and Z15 SS 454 converter.

I wonder where I can get a Z15 converter? lol

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.

This Motion car must be a bolt of lightning if all those mods are still in place. Wonder what Joel used for an intake - 163? Edelbrock?

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.
