I own an unrestored LS6.The previous owner had the car since 1978 and put 800 miles on it then put it up on blocks for 20 years along with a 67 427 vette and 72 454 Chevelle.Quite the dream collection!Anyway this car no doubt was raced by one of the past owners.I bought the car with MT pro stocks on the back(old discontinued 70s racing tires).Has a Hurst shifter and used to have aftermarket gauges bolted underneath the dash.Car had headers but original manifolds and air pump are now on it.Heads were blueprinted back in the 70s due to valve recession. Casting dates on motor and heads check out.All components are correct,Carb,intake,alt,dist,ect.Vin stamping on block pad matches,but engine assembly date is off(See engine assembly date code in tag team)Tranny might have been replaced with another m22.I cant find any Vin numbers on it(see m22 date codes and vin #s in tech)rear end checks out.Car has most of its original paint except for passenger side fender.Car was in a minor fender bender many years ago and the paint dont match.At this time the owner replaced the cracked inner fenders with metal ones.Car is rust free!Build sheet was found under the back,still looking for another one.I dont have any other documentation on the car but this build sheet and a copy of the 1978 title with 39,432.Car now has 40,337.Still has 1979 inspection stickers on it.Interior is all original except for the carpet and radio.The AM radio was replaced with an AM/FM signal seek radio from the 70s.Unfortunately at that time the guy drilled a hole in the quarter panel to mount an antenna.
Options on this car are bucket seats,console,gauges with 6500 redline tach,cowl induction,and 4.10 posi.Everthing is there.Color is autumn gold/black stripes/saddle interior.paint is checking on the stripes.Trunk is spotless with original jack,mat,and spare.Original exhaust was long gone as are the tips.The front bumper is in good shape.The rear bumper is not as nice and the pad is shot.Everthing works and the undercarrage is clean.Car has air shocks in the rear.Planning on doing a frame off but not for a while.The car is a great driver and runs smooth and strong but is far from perfect.I feel relaxed driving this car.If I restore this car to the level it deserves I know I will panic every time I pull it out for a ride!I did a frame off on a 69 L78.2 months later a drunk driver demolished it!I would like to hear about all your Chevelles out there!
