Rick (mr70) can likely tell you all about it/them in 200 words or less. I believe they have crossed paths many times.

Based on the price I'd strongly suspect it's a replica. A fresh frame-off real LS-6 conv. would be in the $150K-$200K range.

I don't know the car but I agree the price indicates it is an undocumented car. Ask if they have a build sheet or other paper on it. Looks like it has wrong exhaust manifolds and no AIR pump. May have other issues.

The only dealings I have ever had with them is when they tried to sell me a Fake LS6 convert. that they had assisted in having built for a customer. The Customer died and they bought the fake and called me, told me it was the real thing and insisted they knew the difference between a Fake and real one. I waited for "JAY" to send me a photo of the Protecto plate for a couple days. During that time I found out the real story on the car . It was built by a well known guy in Wisconsin and he had done a couple other fakes for Volo also. I emailed JAY and asked him why he would knowingly sell me a Fake and lie to me over the phone but strangely I have never heard back from Jay. Ahhh the Scum of the Earth surfaces again.

There are a lot of stories behind this "well known guy" in Wisconsin. Evidently, that car got/is getting him into a lot of trouble. Seems as though he built the car with he and his customer knowing it would be a clone but when the customer died, the car was sold by "someone" else as the real deal through the estate. From what I understand, he builds many very nice clones. Not a good thing.

Weren't they the ones selling the red/black non cowl car 2 years ago at Barrett-Jackson that was bid to $105K and was a no sale which was later proven to be a fake? Just curious.

There are more LS6 clown cars in the works and for sale than I can count. Buyers Beware.

Ha !!! Actually, a LS6 Clown car might be knida funny.

Rick, you refreshed my memory. I believe this is the same car they sold a couple of years ago. Check the VIN as if it is the same car as before, it was built prior to the LS-6 engine being avaliable. It used to have a bogus POP. I do know the colors are the same.

Who is this fellow in Wisconsin that does the fakes? Is he from Racine?
