Original paint black LS6
 

I have an itch to buy something else, and came across this original paint LS6 Chevelle.

Would $50k be a fair price assuming the deck stamp checks out?

Man o' man! An M-22, 4.10 geared, LS-6 in Black . . . somebody wanted to be the bad man in their neighborhood.

Tony,
If you don't buy it no doubt someone else will,

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

If that bid history is any indication, I don't think Fiddy is gonna get it.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

I'm just guessing, but $50K with 5 days left is a dream.

Probably low $100 number, IF it's as advertised.

time to get out the black turtle wax, and see if that paint could be improved. But it looks maybe pretty rough in places.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

If I were a player $50k would be all the money. It will get bid to more but I think that is about what it is worth as it sits. Add a true "restoration" by definition to it and you are going to be up there in total cost.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

Nice to see yet another Atlanta car with square stripes (assuming they are original) as a few of them have been found from various plants.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

I would go higher if the car was better preserved, but if it ends up crossing, say, the $60k mark, I just don't see it.

Regardless, it will be interesting to watch.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

Do the stripes on the trunk lid look a little on the wide side?? The outer corners are not rounded either. It says 70% original paint,maybe trunk lid was repainted sometime in the past. It does look rough in spots, but only original once.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

The seller lists the car as "#'s matching born with motor" yet hasn't posted a photo of the deck. To me that would be my selling point.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

I have a copy of that car's buildsheet already in my files dated 9/11/2006, so I'm thinking it was up for sale at that time somewhere.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

I would certainly be comfortable paying $50,000 for that car in that current condition, assuming the drivetrain is proven &quot;born with&quot;.

Great project or drive as is!

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

To Bad all the smog components are all gone, it does not even have the smog exhaust manifolds. No TCS on the intake too.
I wonder if it has the correct Alternator or Distributor as we all know what these three things will ad to the cost of the car. Thousands [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Build sheet also has the 064 Fan and clutch so if this is missing more money. I also hope it has all the original pulleys as those will cost to. Just saying

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

Good looking car and foundation.I could easily see it bring more then 50K today,if it all checks out.
He should @ least put the correct 1970 specific #879 driver side ex. manifold on it.
Do you see resonators on those tail pipes?
Wonder if it's still holding it's original 4 core rad. and notched to panel?

Checks all the boxes, if all there I'll venture it fetches 60k+, pushing 200k total if done to the nines.

Yeah, but 150 of the bids are from g**k in $200 increments. In my view, not the approach most serious buyers take.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

Dunno Tony, I get bad vibes from the add a inspection would be in order before bidding, pictures are so bad and nothing a guy really needs to see to get the warm fuzzy going is posted.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

He wants $87K

Agreed, I also see he wants 87K .......... its good to want : ) He better step up with much more detailed pictures, some video and hire someone reputable to inspect and report on the car. I also think the bidding looks a bit fishy, one guy has a ton of bids, very low feedback and 4 bid retractions in 6 months [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Very cool car though, I say if it checks out, 60 is all the money for it, as it will take a bunch to restore it correctly and you will be upside down for a while [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] my prediction, the add gets pulled.

is this a killer picture or what? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...-25530-tty.png

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

I would go make it road worthy and drive it just as is [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

If there's a buyer at $87k it ain't me...but I will stay in it in case it goes reasonable. I'd just drive it as-is with some cleanup. My kind of ride.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

Cool car. Would like to see the engine compartment in keeping with the exterior....worn....Too bad the original parts others mentioned are not still with the car.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

with a born with drivetrain 50k is a great price with original documentation and original owner known. its going higher.

I have to agree

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

at 80k now with 8 hours to go

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

Winning Bid $80,100.,

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

Unreal!

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

With the high # of bids I just don't see it being authentic...

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

I bet its relisted......

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

There was one very much like this one in my neighborhood growing up. It had &quot;Lil' Skunk&quot; painted on the trunk lid.

Re: Original paint black LS6

That sounds like the Jim Dimetro's black LS-5 that he bought brand new back then.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

I could see it if this were 2005 but not 2015. That price would be insane today.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

It is so easy to bid up your own auction on ebay using friends and then after it is over cancel the transaction between the Buyer and Seller and get refunded for the fees and then go re list it again to try and look for a fish.
I see so many 70 Chevelles marked in the <span style="color: #009900">GREEN</span> as sold and many of those cars come back for sale within a week or two.

Ebay is full of bid shilling and I am betting this car is one of them.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

Not to mention just flat out non-paying bidders. Happens all the time on lower priced stuff, I imagine it happens even more on higher prices stuff.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

It was kept at the gas staion next to Swanky Franks. I was 11 or 12 and would ride my bike over there just to look at it.

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

I guess that this car's selling value shows that people have left money on the table with previous sales of restored vehicles.The older a solid lifter musclercar gets, the more expensive it will be to buy!

Re: Original paint black LS6
 

I think it just shows there are still people out there with more money than common sense.
