Interesting article from August 2016 ...

In my role as a member of the Barrett-Jackson team of automotive experts, I am asked to review certain rare Z/28, SS396 and COPO 427 Camaros – as well as LS6 Chevelles and L79 Nova SS Chevy IIs – at each auction that are represented, by the consignor, to have “matching numbers.”

The same holds true for the LS6 Chevelle. Many LS6 Chevelles consigned to Barrett-Jackson are listed as having “matching numbers.” Any lifelong drag racer knows that many or most of these cars were driven hard on the street or racetrack – LS6 Chevelles were high-performance cars with solid lifters and were often pushed to their limits. When a consignor represents that their car is a matching-numbers LS6, our job is to help make sure the description is accurate.

So the question ya gotta ask yourself is..... " Do you feel lucky today?" " Well do ya?"

All kidding aside, people do still need to ask themselves.... is seeing a car that was verified or listed as real or in a registry.... enough to just pull the trigger without investigating further ??

For me, I would still do my own due dilligence and the ask the people I trust to look at the docs and stampings and tags. That's just me
