Here's the E-bay number 320100130461. I feel bad for this guy already.

Here is a link to the eBay auction. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fse arch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D320100130461%26f vi%3D1&item=320100130461)

Nice car!

Two things I saw that look wrong

trim tag does not show this as a factory vinyl top car & the dash looks to be a reproduction or was restored incorrectly.

Intake is incorrect for 70'. I don't think the trim tag should have the dash between numbers. I have never seen that on Baltimore tags, not sure about others though. Trim also only has four lines of text at bottom, should be five lines.

I say trim tag is reproduction and a bad one at that!

I don't know how you guys can tell anything from the blurry pictures.

The only thing I would question about this car is the mileage.

And then again, maybe some of your comments.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the guy. The car probably is fake. But there's definitely not enough information contained in these photos to determine that.

Dash is an original, the guy just got alittle crazy with the silver ink pen, but why would the front seats need done with 29,000 miles, the rear appear to be original and the medalions are placed wrong on the fronts, I really struggle with these restored 20,000 mile (?) cars, looks like a decent car though, lotsa paper work. This car was on e-bay from the same guys a few years back, they dont own the car, they are repping it for someone else, I tried to buy it last time, for 65K, didnt work.

Pictures are blurry to you?

How would anyone know that the mileage wasn't
really 129,000 or 229,000 ?

He states "this is the most honest LS6". But yet he states the black vinyl top is original, although the trim tag doesn't show a vinyl top. He states the interior is original, but look at the mistakes in there. He states it has all original sheet metal and correct markings, emblems etc. But the trunk lid emblem is the wrong year.

There are so many other small items that are wrong, it doesn't make sense.
29,000 original miles. Why has it had so much work done to it.

I agree with previous post about the VIN and the trim tag.

Amazing what people will say and do.:noway:

It is missing the metal link that hold the e-brake cable to the center of the crossmember. The e-brake cable looks like it is touching the driveshaft!
He is also missing the rear bolts for the straps under the gas tank.
Why is there a temp sender unit in each head??

There is my nit pick for the day.:)

but why would the front seats need done with 29,000 miles, the rear appear to be original and the medalions are placed wrong on the fronts


that has to be possibly the worst front seat medalion placement I have ever seen! Stuff like that makes me crazy! It does look like a real nice car even with the discrepancies.

You are mistaken, My Arlington 70 SS with 396 has a "B" in the Body tag as well.

Check your TT again, all Arlington cars should start with a BT in the top right hand corner and they also have several other distinct differences. This tag pictured is a Balt. tag on an Arlington car.

It's also missing the cowl screens. Not a big deal but for a low milage car and that price they should be there. I've seen a lot of cars with that small little detail left out. It just bugs me I guess.:D

They did not come with the cowl screens..even they look better in the 3 big holes.

I'm no expert on the 70 Arlington built trim tags, but the 03D build puts that VIN sequence right where it should be on the Arlington built cars.

as I can tell 1967 and prior had the dash between the year and divison series (i e 70-13637)
1969 and later (ie 1970 included) the dash was no longer put between the year and division number.
the same goes for the paint/trim, 67 and prior had a dash 69 and later did not.

Why would one have to fake a supposed 29,000 mile original car?

Yes, I think the pics are very blurry considering we live in digital age. When you compare picture to picture. Some are very clear while others are blurry.
The ones that are blurry are the most important ones. Cowl tag, docs, etc.

To me, the car appears to have way more miles than 29K. Look up inside the frame. Granted it could sat outside or in a barn for the last 30 some years. But when compare alot of the half a$$ detail and the rust tucked away in the corners. My guess is it's more like 129 or 229K.

The dash looks authentic, Although, again, the pic is "blurry" so I'm not sure you could really tell if it was a repop or not. The gauge lens is very cloudy as if exposed to light and other weather conditions. I say the car sat outside.

Again, it's hard to determine from these pictures if this car is legit or not.

The only reason I asked is the other day someone was commenting on what a trim tag on ebay said and I couldn't read it at all.
Then when I went back and took another look, I could read it OK. :confused:

Arlington has a VERY specific date code on the bottom left and 03D isn't it. I am in no way trashing this car, I just feel bad for the owner because I feel he got taken by the last seller, not realizing what he bought. In my opinion this car has been put together with whatever paperwork the last owner conjured up to make the current owner believe it's real. There are so many things wrong with this car for a 29K LS-6 it's a shame. This car is a CLASSIC example of why people should do their homework.

Sorry guys, but I am mistaken, I just checked my body tag again and its a "BT" on the tag. I goofed.

I'm not sure, but aren't the LS-6 cars supposed to have the smog pump, or are those just California cars?
