Every component that could be restamped on this car was. At least he posted all the pics of everything so a buyer will hopefully get advice prior to purchasing it.

All I can say (again) is wow! Sadly, some unsuspecting individual will buy this thinking it is real.

I think there aren't many unsuspecting individuals left out there buying LS-6 ragtops...Seller never says any of the right words like 'born with' or 'documented.

Numbers matching doesn't mean what it used to mean. I think most buyers at this level understand this.

Some of those restamps are the worst that I have ever seen. (Transmission, alternator, and rear end especially)

Incorrect color for stripes as Forest Green was only offered with white stripes.
Love the sticker on the fan shroud [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Very obvious re-stamped parts

Yeah, shouldn't that sticker be on a Camaro somewhere?

As I learned in the last year you could get stripe colors other than &quot;offered&quot; on these. There are build sheets out there indicating such with special order...........never say never, right Rick?

Understanding that most any documentation can be replicated these days ......still why would anyone consider such a model without an original BS or window sticker?
