Interesting LS6 convert. on e-bay!

I've seen the ignition wire protectors shown on this car advertised in various catalogs, but have seen them on very few cars. I was wondering if they were correct for '69-70 big blocks as I have seen them advertised, or were they limited to LS6 or?

-----Jerry,,,,The only vehicles I have ever seen those heat-shields on are trucks. Never, never have I seen them on an original Chevelle. As an aside, Im sure Im not the only one to be overly surprised at the number of other underhood discrepencies on this "LS6 convertable".......Bill S

As far as I know, no big block Chevelles and certainly not the LS-6 came with any plug heat shields such as these. I have seen these on a few cars and some that I even considered somewhat original day II cars but I am pretty convinced they were add ons.

The "SS454" fender emblems are not in their proper location. They are too high on the fender.

I bought a unmolested 69 caprice police car that had a 396 2bbl and it had the same heat shields around the plugs maybe only big cars
