Default Phony LS6 on eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/70-CHEVEL...1QQcmdZViewItem

Hope someone who is considering this car will see this first! There are a number of problems with the restoration of this car but I won't go into that. Here's the real problems...

1. Phony buildsheet
2. Phony con. vin stamp by oil filter
3. Phony con. vin stamp on tranny
4. Wrong diiferential code stamped on passenger axle tube

Buyer beware!

The door to fender gap on the pass side is not what I would expect from a good restoration. Seems to get wider near the top.

Not only is it the wrong stamped rearend code, but they even have the same code on the phony POP.

Has anyone told the seller of it ? It appears he is not the owner, just listing it. He has 100% feedback so he might want to know.

Considering the words used in the auction such as "Documentation provided for display purposes" I'd suspect the seller has more than an idea of what he has listed?.

Also and maybe a connection or not, the phoney aged documents we've seen on eBay come from Calgary Alta. Canada...pretty close to the same area as this listing comes from?.

Howard:
What makes you such an expert? I suppose you have, like, 10 LS6s or something...........


Thanks for pointing out this fake crap.

Its funny that the fake build sheets that are popping up seem to follow a pattern. I guess the guy making them isn't very creative...
