GTO_DON,
That blue car is a clone?!? I didn't think anyone would make up a story like that and name names.

ITS A CLONE!!

I DONT KNOW WHERE HE MADE THAT STORY FROM BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT CAR IS A CLONE! IM REALLY SURPRISED THAT A WELL KNOWN DEALER WOULD TAKE THE CHANCE AT A MAJOR LAWSUIT. THERES OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE OUT THERE THAT THE CAR IS A CLONE!

I'm curious about what evidence there is that makes it a clone. Lack of paperwork would not. Saying it is a clone and not explaining more clearly is kind of unfair now that I am thinking about it.

I do not know who built the car but by reading what the seller at Mecum wrote it had to be a clone. There was nothing saying the car was real everything was saying correct this and correct that. Somewhere he would of said it was a real car with correct parts. It was written to confuse somebody who doesnt know how to read into it. If it was real shame on the seller because that car could have brought 200k if it was represented as a real car.

I emailed the seller about the car last night. I asked him if there were any documentation and why a restoration of that caliber would have aftermarket parts. I also asked him if the engine that was removed and set aside was still available. Here is his response.

It is an un-documented LS6, we have ownership history that confirms it is, but we have no build sheet or protecto-plate to validate the car. Our description states that the original engine was pulled and set aside many years ago when the car was raced (per ownership history) but we do not have the original block for the car. The current engine in the car is a true LS6 4-speed block that is date coded and stamped to look exactly as the original would. Documented LS6 Convertibles have recently sold for $250,000. plus. This car can be bought for considerably less.

We did not do the resto so I can not answer as to why they put on aftermarket exhaust. Shifters are quite often changed to Hurst from Muncie.

Thanks & Have a Happy Day!
