Looking for Atlanta built LS6 car vin# 136370A129766
 

Looking for Atlanta built LS6 car vin# 136370A129766 I know where your engine is. There was old post on Chevelle tech website a guy was looking for his old car with that vin#. He described the car as a green LS6 coupe out of Dayton Ohio area in late 1970s. I already checked the LS6 registry no luck.

I kinda knew where the motor was but the car was nowhere to be found. I bought the car off of a friend just to get the motor for my 69 Camaro race car. This was in the middle seventy's. The car didn't have hardly any miles on it because it was a garage car. I pulled the LS6 out and put a small block in it and sold the car to the first guy that came along..I had that motor in a half dozen race cars over the years until I sold a 67 Camaro that the motor was in to a guy in Iowa.

As a side note, Tommy Johnson Sr. (Father of Funny Car racer TJ jr,) raced the Camaro for a long time and he told me he sold it in the move to the Carolina's. He said he sold it back to the guy I sold it to originally. I alway's had an eye out for the Chevelle but did not find it.

The amazing thing is the Camaro that I bought the LS6 for back then just made it's way back in my garage after being gone from me for over fourty years. My son bought it a few months ago from the guy thats had it all this time..

What is the status on the motor? Is it still with the 67 Camaro? Tks

Tks for posting this Nasblu.

Matt did you find my old motor while helping with the Gold Yenko find?

The motor for that LS6 is in Iowa. It was in a dragster until the guy realized what the motor was. I told the guy I would try to find the car. It has a crazy stamp pad that a machine shop stamped there logo on it but the original broach marks are nice and characters are not altered

I sent you PM

I want to thank Matt Lamer for putting me in touch with the guy that had my LS6. My son and I made the road trip from Ohio to Iowa last week and picked it up. Going to reunite it with the Camaro I put it in some 40 years ago..

No problem buddy glad it worked out. I wish we could have found your old LS6 Chevelle that the engine came from but this is the next best thing. Enjoy!
