Earliest LS6/M22 production date?
I just recently bought a 70 LS6 4 speed car with a 12-11 (12B) build date. Does anyone know if any other LS6 4 speed cars were built earlier? Vin is 1401xx. Thanks Steve 👍🏻

There's an Autumn Gold Turbo 400 equipped car built November 25th also at Leeds, and a 12B Dec. 9th built Turbo 400 car from Baltimore, but I'm not aware of any 4-speeds that are before your build date.
I had a Black 12C LS-6 Convertible M-22 built in Van Nuys that was purported to be the first convertible LS-6 built. Have been out of Chevelles for a while, so not sure if anything earlier surfaced. Last edited by COPO; 08-30-2021 at 04:04 AM.

How do you tell if it had open element or the long dual snorkle air cleaner?
Was that an early thing? Beem's old 4300 mile LS6 - 04C Arlington - had the dual snorkle.

yes, box 55 showing SS. For reference our 02D Leeds plant ls6 also has SS in box 55 and the standard hood also.

I thought Greg Carlsons green car was the first?? Does anyone know the latest production cars from each plant, i know Dales Place has final vin by month but it doesnt specify what week productiom ended by plant for each.
