Has anyone seen an LS6 convertible with Canadian documentation?

[/ QUOTE ]
There is and was one bought new in my town in Nova Scotia.It has Canadian docs but the car if I recall correctly was built in the US and shipped to Canada when new.
I street raced it many times in the late 70's when the original owner had it. By far the nicest 70 chevelle I have seen.Code 28 I think blue, white stripes with a white top and white bucket interior.He destroyed the engine in about 1980 , removed it and left the car sit in the driveway for probally 15 plus years. I tried to buy it many times but it was never for sale.When it was sold it was very very rusty and the guy that bought it would not spend any money on it putting patch panels on it and a 427 out of a dump truck.
I still see it from time to time and it looks OK from 100 feet but not the car it was or could be.

It was in fact built in the US.

Chuck:
BJ has no real way to police fake or misrepresented cars. Even with "some" dealers having a reputation for it and even having been to court and lost, they keep selling crap. Your scenerio #2 really doesn't work with 18% total commission due if you bought your own. BJ doesn't give up their commission. Does it happen that an agent for the seller buys the car back. Yes. Is it forbidden in the contract. Yes.

the people selling some of these cars dont know if the car is legit.as far as they know the car they purchased is the car they are selling.
BJ should hire a pro to advise him on the discrepancies before the sale and make that info available to the seller.
that way BJ wont be describing fake cars for sale.
What would that cost him.
I am sure it wont cost him as much as his reputation.

I find it absolutely pathetic that there are a few individuals in this "chat room" who will actually print lies and rumors about my reputable company of 27 years and the cars we have restored. Many of our cars (including the LS6) have been praised with the highest awards and have been featured in numerous publications and television programs. That being said, derogatory remarks that include or make reference to my name or company name will be reported to this bulletin board's advisory committee as defamation. Know the facts before making quick judgments and false accusations.

The accolades you refer to are based on opinon, as are the post in this thread.

If you would like to respond to specific statements with the facts as you see them then we can have a debate. A carefully crafted blanket response or denial doesn't carry much weight. Help enlighten us!

That's odd. I see reference to the Chev Connection but with nothing directly derogatory. I see reference to an "Oregon dealer". I talk about "some dealers selling crap" with no reference to the Chev Connection. And I see factual info about some fake cars from some very knowledgable people who have actually examined the car(s) and documents in question and have followed them over a period of years - the hardcore hobbiests can't be fooled. But, until TCB posted, I didn't see anything in this thread that ties it all together.

He should broaden his scope to the internet a bit. One of his own employees at BJ this year made some interesting comments elsewhere...
