Joe, that's great. You obviously have better sources of info on the internet than I do. I knew his name and I knew that a year and a half ago he lived in Sugar Grove.....did a search on anywho.com and came up empty

Glad you were able to contact him and also glad to hear he is at least coming over to look at the motor this weekend

Hey all, I am the owner of the LS6. I am planning on going to look at the motor today if possible. This is truly amazing that the original block to my car is only about 10 miles from my house!! I don't have any paperwork, which still bothers me, but I have known all along how rare this car is. The original owner is still in the next town over from me, and he put together a letter stating that he was the original owner, and that the factory engine was replaced at Fanning in Aurora. If I told you what my dad paid for this car, you would all hate me.

I remember riding in the car with my father when I was a kid, and I remeber him telling me time and time again that when I was off on my own, the car would be mine. My dad became ill in 1992, and I was given the title to the car shortly before he passed, thus the reason for the DADSLS6 plates. Here are a few pics, I hope they work!

Thank you Rick. I haven't been to many cruises in the past 5-6 years, but this year I hope to get out to many. Where are the main spots for cruise nights nowadays?
