LOL! Yeah, life is grand. You're right - I'm must be venting a bit! I had a 66 goat when I was in HS. Back then, NOBODY left them original. The whole point in owning one was to goose it somehow. The only guys that left them untouched were the posers. Heck, the idea that GM built it correctly in the first place was like an affront to one's manhood or something! And, yes, I used to cut dashes, too. And put wheel lip flares on 67 vettes. I suppose I'll have to change my phone number now...

Ellis [mailto:Craig@;neagroup.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 9:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Another Ebay LS6 The point I was making is that I don't think you can tell whether it's real or not. It's possible to forge a Guttenberg bible and a $100 bill. A build sheet would seem child's play. I mean, you can buy VIN tags, cowl tags, and even the little tape wrap that they used to put on your rear axle - and you can't tell it from the real thing. Why people bet $40k on a build sheet is beyond me. More to the point - all that GM did to create an SS in 1970 was add some options - like adding the DVD player to my wife's minivan. What makes it such a bad thing to do so today? Why NOT just take an ordinary Malibu and turn it into an SS. The end result is exactly the same - 100% exactly the same - except in the mind of the owner. Personally, I don't have a problem with this. Moreover, I don't think anyone needs to explain that that is what they did. I am pretty sure my car is an original SS because I have the VIN data from GM in Canada. But let's be real - I'm in Michigan and there are more non-original parts on that car than you can shake a stick at. Fenders, inner fenders, door skins, quarter panels - even the HOOD for pete's sake. Not to mention springs, rotors, axle shafts, rear end gears, exhaust, radiator, alternator, AC pump, seat covers, shocks, bushings, tie rods, tires, wheels, pistons, cam, rockers, carb, valves, clutch, driveshaft. The whole stupid car seems to have been replaced (and I've got the receipts to prove it). But, when I dump the clutch at 4k, I can't tell if those parts are original or not - too much tire smoke to see clearly. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-chevelle-list@;chevelles.net]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 8:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Another Ebay LS6 I don't think I would buy a LS6 without the original build sheet. And not a copy of a build sheet it better be real 1970 paper! ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
