Default LS6 Build Sheet

I recently discovered a LS6 in hiding that I was able to pass on to my buddy in Arizona for a full and correct restoration.

I ran across this car on eBay - my question is about the build sheet. To me it looks too clean and too perfect to have come from a 43 year old car. The one in my car was almost dust but still can be saved. This one looks like it was just put in the car last week.

Thats a real build sheet that came of the back of a door panel.
They hold up well on Atlanta built cars as they are always pasted on the back of a door panel were yours came from the under side of a gas tank exposed to the elements much more.

Here is a sample of an Atlanta build sheet still glued to the back of the door panel from an SS 396 car.

A lot of them are very clean [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Agree. Depends a lot on the specifics; this one is from above the fuel tank of my low mileage Michigan based '65 Pontiac:

Wow, that build sheet is so clean for being on the tank. My 69 L-71 vette had a barely readable buildsheet. I did find a 'like-new' build sheet in the glove box of a 68 Camaro convertible in with the owners manual package....ya never know !!
