Regarding your example of LS6's most have buildsheets or data cards validating original build equipment components. Yes these can be faked as well. Another point is if you are purchasing a car due your diligence and hire an expert to inspect the car. Many cars have known histories. If you truly want a no excuse car you need to do research and if you have limited knowledge hire someone reputable.

Finally, for me I am only interested in no excuse cars with born drivetrain, real docs and original as possible. Although paperwork is important, I still own cars with no paperwork, but Vin, Trim and Components are validated and are real as rain.

The entire dash Vin tag has been reproduced on some mopars. Some are very good and some.are.ez to spot.
