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 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif 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 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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?
