Default I need help to authenticate a LS6 Convertible

Friend of mine just bought this car, it (to me) was very reasonably priced ($150k) - the car has a buildsheet and P.O.P, and an original title. We are trying to track down the owners through some friends at the DMV - do any of you know of someone local here in New England that can help me authenticate this car? I can get to about an 80% comfort level based on what I know - I need someone to take me the rest of the way...

Thanks - email me directly at [email protected] or call me at 617.513.7407...

It has been determined to have a fabricated build sheet.

Same car. The build sheet was actually scary as it looked so real (I have a copy). However, many of the codes were incorrect and lots of errors through out the sheet. The fonts were unfortunately very correct so these people are getting better. I am pretty sure the seller/restorer is a reader here.

The fact that it was too reasonably priced would be another warning sign.

I see there is another similar high dollar vintage car reappearing on ebay again this week. It now has a POP (which it didn't in earlier ads) along with the previously determined fake buildsheet. This time the seller is not showing either in the pictures as before but instead just stating he has them.

Proceed with caution.
