The "6" is a convertible but I have only seen "K", "L", and "W" codes for engines. "G" is new to me. Can you see the engine pad codes and do they match?

The only codes that I came up with are K=350-cid V8 and W-LS5 454-cid with duel exhaust . There is no G . Probably a mistake when title was issued if it is just looking on the title but if you are looking at the metal VIN on the car then something looks tampered.

The L is the LT1 255hp engine. K is the 200hp base. W is the 454 270hp.
