A Black LS-6 similarly equipped but with a TH400 just sold for 80K a few weeks ago.Down from it's higher asking price,but fully restored w/Buildsheet,docs & photo history.
I know of a M-22 similarly equipped restored twin to yours that can be bought for 95K,with no takers right this very moment.

That's interesting. Is the LS6 market in a state of flux right now? A member here just bought one off of ebay that needs a resto for just under $70K. Rick - you said that was a fair price.

Just looked back at B-J auction results for Scottsdale 2007. Several LS6 cars supposedly with matching numbers and paperwork sold in the $80k-$100K range. On Sat a 22K mile original brought $132K.

My reply was really based on the quality of work TXSS has done on his past vehicles.I think he would be ahead of the game..
As others have stated,this does not really look like a clone or misrepresented LS-6 to me either.
I have seen documented cars with fly by night poor restos bring low dollars,and non documented cars with a high degree of attention to detail & quality bring much higher dollars.
I guess this equation really begins with how much money does it take for this LS-6 to be bought from it's current owner?

Yes Sir you are bang on. Purchase price with this one is everything.No docs could help in that area eapecially if you find them later on.Paying a fee up front and finding them will make a huge impact I would say on the original purchase price unless that can be nailed down prior to looking.Big gamble but looking at her the odds of the interior being out before, tank down etc are in your favor I would say to find a sheet but one never knows.

Thanks Rick and thanks for all the input. I agree that purchase price is/would have been the key. However, Bad news. There appears to be some question as too current ownership of the car. In fact I have been informed in no uncertain terms that because I put the car on this site I can get Fu%&ed. Long story, but better to find out now than later. That's one of major benefits of the site, it shakes out all the skeletons. I've learned a lot from the comments posted on this thread and that is a good thing. Thanks again for the comments but I'm done.

I would not think any one could bother you as the pics you took are your personal property
