...have a project factory ls6 car was factory ls6 4spd 12 bolt car was parked next to a mint malibu and the bb 4spd and 12 bolt where put in the malibu in 98 ( that car sits 2 towns over still)

the ls6 body now has a 350 400 trany and a 10 posi
car is clean expect trunk
i bought all the parts to fix it tho
car runs
has buckets ss dash, f41 susp still, the correct steering box, power disc, ss wheels still, 3/8 gas line with no return, have all new int, head liner seats are done, rug, etc to go with the car cowl still on it new door panels

what is it worth? its a factory ls6 body!!!!

let me know what you guys think thanks

How do you know it is an LS6 body? What plant was it built at? What build date? Any pictures?

Do you have any paperwork to prove it's LS6 roots?

LK

the numbers matching number on the other side of town dont know the plant have to check the the trim its a 19 19 car i know that

the numbers matching number on the other side of town

Even if YOU were the original owner, unless you can PROVE it is an original LS6 car (or even an original SS), the value will be reduced... Documentation goes along way towards the value, especially on an LS6...

Even more important because not just the engine has been changed, but the trans and rearend too...


Might be worth it to see IF you could buy that Malibu on the other side of town and reunite the drivetrain...

Go get the malibu with the matching numbers engine, trans and rear, then put it in the ls6 body and make mondo money. I dont think an ls6 body is worth any more than a normal ss body if it doesnt still have the ls6. With a buildsheet it might be worth a little bit more to someone with an ls6 clone dream.

where are the build sheets on a 70 gas tank? back seat?

from what i have read and found out only ls6 and l78 came with a single 3/8 line

I believe we need a sticky to save the most bizarre LS6 stories, my stomach hurts. I'd call Hagerty and tell them you want 100k insurance on it....and explain the drivetrain resides across town to deter theft. Seriously you need to go back across town and buy the other car. But now that your here might as well give us a name and town for an official welcome from the fellows. Have you taken any pic's of the old drivetrain....cowl or vin tag?

listen i would buy the drive train out of the car tomarrow if i could afford it the guy wants crazy money for that car or i would of done that he wants 80g for a malibu with my correct motor he is nuts

i just asking what do i ask for the car whats it worth?

dont have time and it just sits in my driveway

Carl as others have said it really not worth any more than any SS body without documentation. Then without seeing the car and the actual condition it hard to put an actual value.....heres a guess between 1k to 20k. You can look at eBay and see what similar cars are going for. Or better yet....take some NICE pic's and post it in the for sale section of Team Chevelle and put best offer on it. The guy who has the malibu wanting 80k sniffed to much R-12 or something....If he wants 80k for anything.....He needs the body you now have.....Its a 2 way street.

thanks bill i did not know if a ls6 body was worth more then a normal ss thnaks you i know the guy is a ashsole for taking apart a # matching car to put together some half ass car all b/c the car needed a new trunk pan and new paint he is a huge ******* good new was all of the orginal emblems where left on the car lol

Just for your info, you could also have a 3/8 Fuel Line with no Return on a L-48.

Carl, its a shame that he did what he did but thats his choice. I have to admit I have created a few non matching numbers cars in my past. Blown or Oil burning motors replaced with factory crates (old school LT-1's motors), Tranny's (M-21 and M-22's) and 12 bolt rears replaced with 100 dollars replacements found in the Baltimore Sunday Sun. This numbers matching stuff meant nothing to us way back when. Some people who had real SS cars removed the emblems and others were cloning them to SS cars in the 70's...Go figure....Anyway if you want top dollar for your body post it for sale on this site. There are folks here who can probably pick out some of the defining things on whats left and make you a fair offer.

What's the redline on your tach?

Go get the malibu with the matching numbers engine, trans and rear, then put it in the LS6 body and make "mondo money".

I would buy the drive train out of the car tomorrow if i could afford it, the guy wants crazy money for that car, he wants 80g for a malibu with my correct motor ........ he is nuts .......
If you are certain, your Chevelle is a "real" LS6 car .....

Go check the CON VIN numbers on his Malibu's engine and transmission .....

If they match your car's VIN numbers, offer the guy "10 or 15 or 20 grand" for his complete car ...

Use the Malibu for body parts, floor pans, doors, fenders, ect...... on your LS6 body......

If you can re-combine the "number matching" LS6 motor/ transmission/ rearend, with the original LS6 body, "you can NAME YOUR PRICE, with a hefty profit", even if you sell it, before it's fully restored ......... Don.

When questions, speculation and rumors are at epidemic proportions, the only way to solve a mystery, is to have the people with hard core, rock solid proof, come forward, and tell what they have seen and might know, to be the truth..........
So we, can "rest assured", that the sweep dashed, original chrome side moldings, amber turn signal cars, are not mistaken for the REAL Chevelle Super Sports......

The only WAY to prove it's originality, is with original factory documentation......
With any of these documents...as proof it left the factory, an original Chevelle SS...
1) the original buildsheet .......
2) the original P-O-P .......
3) the original number matching engine ..... w/ partial v.i.n# .......
4) the original dealer invoice ................................................ Don.

Disclaimer;.... be damn sure, you know what your doing ..... this means "no re-stamped numbers" .......
"check the casting date codes"...."check the casting numbers"...."check anything and everything" ..
"then re-check it, again", before you buy anything ..... then remember those famous words, "e-bay" ...
