LS6 window sticker

[starrider]

i purchased from a auction house which was advertised as an original LS6. The chevelle came with what was advertised as an original window sticker. I have had the car for a while and used it as a driver but have decided to sell it. I have not been able to locate a build sheet for it. I am hoping that someone here can tell me if this is a real window sticker. The pic shown is a copy of the one i have so the paper and size will be different. Thank you in advance

100% modern day reproduction & artificially aged.

What are the tattle tales?

First and foremost, a Van Nuys VIN starting in 12xxxx would have been manufactured far too early for any LS6. Also many of the fonts are incorrect as well as how things are abbreviated. Some symbols are also incorrect.

Man, the people who do that kind of stuff should be smacked around and then prosecuted.

i like the tea bag stains. They cook tank stickers too. i would call a mouthpiece over that.

Sad thing is a LOT of work has gone into locating these a&amp;&amp;wipes, finding proof of wrong doing and catching them red handed only to have the prosecutor and defense attorneys plea bargain it down to a much lessor charge and they go right back at it. &quot;douche&quot; comes to mind....

The worst part is, the auctions are like Teflon; nothing sticks! The end result is usually down to the buyer vs. seller. The auction IMO, should be somewhat liable, but the fine print in the collector car auction contracts say that they are not responsible for descriptions. Once the attorneys are involved, they end up (the majority of the time) being the winner.

it also depends how long ago the car was bought. if the paperwork is fake they probably restamped the vin numbers also on the pad. Thats a big no -no.

[SS427]

In trying to keep an open mind, I always tell my inspection customers, &quot;fake paperwork does not make for a fake car and a rebodied car or one with a replaced VIN tag can still have 'good' paperwork.&quot; In other words, just because the window sticker is fake does not mean for sure the car is. I had a window sticker made for my Impala back in the 80's that looked very real but I was sure to tell everyone it was a reproduction.

[DW31S]

I agree SS427, the bad thing about fake paperwork is that most people think that the car is as fake as the paperwork. Another bad thing, is that if the paperwork is real good, that subsequent owners may not know and that's where the problems start at it snowballs into a big problem. An honest person may be telling &quot;lies&quot; and not know it. The lower-priced &quot;cruise night&quot; cars aren't the problem; it's the high-dollar cars that should be pre-inspected.

[SS427]

Absolutely agreed but back in the early 80's that was really not the case especially since and in my case only, 1) an SS427 was only bringing about $4-5k and 2) the window sticker said &quot;reproduction&quot; on it in very small letters.

[DW31S]

I have a reproduction sticker on my car as well. I don't think it has the word &quot;reproduction&quot; on it anywhere, but I tell anyone who reads it. The font is incorrect as my wife printed on her computer, but since I don't represent it as original I'm OK with it. It is a real shame that this hobby, that continues to be a passion for me, has become an avenue for the greedy and dishonest to scam people out of a buck.
