Vette(s): 1994 C4 Conv, White with Red Interior, Chrome factory sawblade wheels, LT-1, Automatic. Have owned 1960 & 1971 conv, 1976, 1989 & 1992 coupe & 1994 conv.
UPDATE: I have the original emissions sticker from firewall and it has "AZ" in the upper left corner. Also there are 4 holes (factory) on the front drivers inner fender at the front where a box was mounted. The car only had 12,000 miles on it when I bought it and now only has 72,000 original miles with original paint.

AZ emissions decal signifies the LS6 big block(I forget auto or 4 spd). If it had the AV decal, that is for the LS5.
So...was it really an original LS6? Could be....
The LS6 should have had different front springs than the LS5, due to the aluminuminum heads of the LS6. I don't know that for a fact, but other luminuminum headed engines had different springs than the iron heads did....
More research is needed to determine if it is in fact an original LS6 equipped Corvette. Sure would be a neat find if it is.
