Did anyone here buy this?..If so,it was originally assembled as an LS-5 and has been documented by past ownerships.It was once in the LS-6 registry,but has since been removed.

The builder of this car is well known for building clones and even a rebodied LS6 convertible. Needs to do some time behind bars to show him how worthwhile it was to take advantage of people.

Former owner in my Chevelle Club that owned it before it became an LS6 noted this car even fooled a top inspector and CY Trans had a re stamped tag that was done incorrectly and poorly. Not going to get into details here but lots of info from this past owner in my group that gives a lot of info on this car calling it a CLONE in it's current state.
For the $125K guy got Ripped Off IMO after reading the comments in my club.

That's why the cars are at auction....24hr money back guarantee and then you own it.

Which will not protect the seller/builder if the current owner decides to sue and can prove everything that is being said. I would say that the builder may want to run away and hide as his days are numbered in the cloning market. Thank goodness I had nothing to do with this car but know the builder well and have a pretty extensive file on many of his builds including the rebodied LS6 convert. I HATE these kinds of people especially when some of them were friends at one time and they have really destroyed the hobby in the name of greed. They are so good at playing dumb and pretending to be your friend. Money can do horrible things to people, starting with greed.

Just wish these seat lovers would hire a professional before they lay the money out. A G-note now is a lot cheaper than bringing home a clone only to find out what they got later. I stood next to the buyer of another black LS6 (fake) at Mecum Indy about 5 years ago. He was having the time of his life and happier than hell to have the winning bid. I wanted desperately to get him to ask me what I thought of his car after he won the bid but had to keep my mouth shut for legal reasons. Had he asked me or hired me I would have saved him about $175k!
