Hi guys
I thought everyone might like to hear about some paperwork I just got. I was talking with the previous owner(Joe) of my LS6 this weekend. He came by to drop off NOS parts he had and some cool documents. He gave me GM plastic inner fenders, door skins, complete interior, and some other cool stuff he didn't even mention he had! He's a great guy. The paperwork he gave me was a photocopy made in March 1989 by a GM worker at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada plant of a import invoice from 1970. When Joe bought the LS6 in March 1989 he wrote to GM of Canada for info on the car and they sent him a photocopied invoice sheet(microfilm) that had his car's info and 13 other cars, plus signed documents from GM of Canada confirming they supplied the paperwork. This GM document dated May of 1970, lists my car as well as 13 other 1970 Chevelle models that were imported into Canada in May! This sheet tells me the production, build, finish, and shipping dates, VIN numbers, all options, paint codes, interiors, dealer code, etc. for all 14 cars! The cars listed on the sheet decoded as 4 Nomad 4 dr station wagons(no engine RPO codes listed), 3 Concours 4dr station wagons(all L48 300hp350/th350 cars), 1 Greenbrier 4dr station wagon, 1 El Camino(6 cyl.), 4 sport coupes including mine(all LS6 cars!!!), and lastly 2 convertibles. One vert had no engine code so base motor I guess with a M38(TH350) and F40 suspension. The other vert was either a LS6 or LS5 convertible! It's hard to read the part of the photocopy that shows the engine code for that car so I can't tell 100% if it's a LS6 or LS5 but it definitely says LS-something and really looks like LS6! Seeing as they built LS5's in the Oshawa plant I assume it has to be a LS6 if it was imported into Canada! Unless Canada didn't build verts. Maybe Dale can provide some insight here? Pretty cool! Now if I can just bribe the local DMV office to run the 5 VIN's for those LS6's to see if they still exist! lol I wonder if the LS6 convertible has been found or if it's still alive? Does anybody know if this car has been found? It had 34 options and was white/black stripes with a white top and a red bench interior. Must have been a gorgeous car! One of the other LS6 cars on my sheet has 50 options including the basic ones like ZK8-tire pressure label, etc. Are basic options like FR1, FR2, ZK8, etc. considered options? Would this car be the most optioned LS6?
