Help With Possible LS6 Chevelle

[talwell]

They are out there as many have said - don't think any of them will be advertising themselves so armed with a little knowledge, a keen eye and some patience it could happen to any of us. This car was purchased to be a donor for an LS pro touring car.

I have gotten several messages about selling the car. Being that I do not have the technical expertise to restore the car the way it should be done I will consider selling it. Just send me a pm and we could discuss. I would really love to see the car go into the hands of someone that will return it to its former glory.

Congrats and very nicely played!
Great to see a real LS6 exposed especially down to its last chance before being lost.

It is interesting that they hand write the stripe color on the build sheet.

That's typical of special order paint vehicles,when stripes were included.
They had a pre determined stripe plan for each Std. color.
But when a customer went off the beaten path and chose a spcl. order color,they hand wrote the stripe color in on the buildsheet to alert the line.

Thanks Elon and everyone else who helped provide technical details to look for that helped me identify this car before it was gone forever.

A close friend of mine is going to undertake the proper restoration on the car and plans to house it in a muscle car museum that he is opening in Arizona.

I will keep everyone filled in as the progress moves along. Being that he plans to do a complete OE restoration on it the project will move quite slowly trying to find all the correct parts for it.

We are currently working to find the drivetrain - being that I bought the car just 30 miles from where it was sold new I am sure that the drivetrain is around the area or someone knows what happened to it.

WOW! Just read this entire tread. Awesome.

Car is on its way to Arizona for a correct restoration. I will try to post pictures as the progress moves along but as you know it is going to take quite some time to find all the correct OE parts for this car.

Just a quick update on this LS6 car that was found. I sold it to my friend in Arizona and he is collecting as many OE parts as possible to do a correct restoration on it.

He also located the born with motor for the car - this should be a great build once complete. It is a very rare one off car with excellent options, special order paint and fully known one owner history. This was also a virtually rust free car.

Wow, I somehow missed this thread. Great find.
