This 1976 Chevrolet C20 Silverado is documented under VIN CCS246J161247 by a photographed GM Service Parts Identification label and Bring a Trailer lot 255,563. The label lists LF8 454 V8, M40 Turbo Hydra-Matic, YE9 Silverado equipment, Z81 basic Camper Special equipment, NL2 auxiliary fuel tank, C60 air conditioning and 26D blue custom cloth. These are factory-listed entries, not proof that all present components are original. BaT described a black exterior and blue cloth bench. Its selling dealer reported original-family custody until 2015; initial purchase paperwork, service records and inspection reports have not been independently read. The five-digit odometer showed about 32,000 miles, not verified lifetime mileage. The dealer reported substantial 2026 service and a replacement Holley carburetor. BaT reports $26,000 sold August 3, 2026. Original paint, component originality, complete ownership and current custody remain unresolved. No third-party images or scans are reproduced.

Evidence status
Verified exact VIN and focused factory option transcription from the photographed Service Parts Identification label. This does not verify current component originality, lifetime mileage or reported ownership documents.
Factory documents
The VIN-matched GM Service Parts Identification label lists LF8 454 V8, M40 Turbo Hydra-Matic, YE9 Silverado equipment, Z81 basic Camper Special equipment, NL2 auxiliary fuel tank, C60 air conditioning and 26D blue custom cloth. This is a focused transcription of legible entries, not a claim that all original parts survive. Auction-mentioned initial purchase paperwork and inspection/service records have not been independently read.
Physical vehicle evidence
The auction gallery photographs the SPID and a black truck with blue-cloth bench, later wheels and stereo. Current engine, paint, upholstery and other components have not been authenticated as original to this VIN; substantial 2026 mechanical work is reported.
Owner or seller statements
BaT and the selling dealer described family custody through 2015, about 32,000 miles shown, black paint and records accompanying the sale. The claimed ownership documents and lifetime mileage were not independently verified. The dealer reported a replacement Holley carburetor and other 2026 service. BaT reports $26,000 sold August 3, 2026; Denver was the listing location, not verified current custody.
Later research
The photographed SPID supports as-listed LF8, M40, Silverado and basic Camper Special equipment for this VIN. It does not establish survival or originality of the present engine and transmission, nor authenticate a Spirit of ’76 package.

Open questions
Can the initial purchase paperwork be inspected and tied to this VIN? Are the present engine, transmission, paint and trim original? What is the complete service and custody chronology, and can lifetime mileage be documented beyond the five-digit reading?
