1970 Chevelle LS6 4sp prefer black w/ white strip

[Big Block Bill]

Any one remember the Cellossi / Ettelsen Chevrolet, Elmhurst Illinois delivered, Black/Red stripe/Red interior LS-6 / L-89 M-22 convertible Bill Clements from Chevy Craft in Lubbock Texas Had? I remember seeing an article in an old Cars magazine that showed the Build Sheet. The only documented LS-6 / L-89 car I have ever seen, and a very cool color combo.

That's the same Chevy Craft that has been supplying fake build sheets and tank stickers for 100 years?

As Mark suggested, you have to wonder about the authenticity of a car owned by a guy who, for a long time, ran a business that helped people build fake cars by restamping motors and creating fake documentation.

First I would like to say, I have NOTHING to gain by starting a story about a bogus car. I owned the first car the Bloomington Gold Benchmark award was founded on, a 1953 Corvette (Vin. # 100)the Straight Axle Corvette Club of America is currently doing an article on, a 1969 L-89 coupe the NCRS used for there Judging manuals, and numerous Camaros and Chevelles(Even a 1969 Hemi Roadrunner in 1974!). Any body who knows me, can tell you I am a Purist in the sence I appreciate a car for it's originality, it's rarity, or for it's historic value (If it IS a real car).

About 2 years ago I tried tracking this car down and I talked to a salesman at the selling dealership. He rememberd the car. I believe the engine code was CRW or CRY? First time I ever saw that code. I will post the article when I find it. I have a hard time believing someone had the vision to bogus up a build sheet way back in the late 1970's. I found out this car sold to a Ford Mustang collector out of Oklahoma At a Barrett / Jackson auction back in the mid 1980's, and is currently owned by one of our members living currently in California. A lot of cars were built not as they seemed back then. Look at all the spc (special paint car) cars now showing up.

I have found over the years of having this desease (which we are not looking for a cure!)we all have collecting and restoring muscle cars, you just have to have an open mind. If this car is real, It is rarer than a ZL-1!

Chevy Craft was doing goofy stuff with 409's in the 80's too...
