I am decoding my budys vin for him and end up finding the engine code listed as a special order L6.

Is that just because it has the super six set up or something else?

Typically special order means that it either is an option not available in that particular "package/platform" (some C-bodies had a base engine of a 318, but someone checked the box that they wanted a 225 instead-usually in ordering cars for a 'fleet'...also pertains to V-8's where a particular car might be limited to certain big blocks but someone ordered the Polara with an 440HP), or it is part of a taxi/police package.

VIN tag information helps in figuring out this info. I used a beat up 1969 Fury I in a demo derby a long time back, it's VIN coded to "special order six", the car was beatup and someone bolted a 383/727 into the car (driver's side motor mount looked OK...passenger side was held to the K-member with a loop of 3/8" chain...so the previous owner blew up the 225/904 and didn't change the K...LOL)
