Default Looking for an unknown triple white 70 Chevelle LS6 convertible

This car was in Clarksville TN in the early 80's.Console auto and had Tru Spoke rims. I had seen it in Hot Rod magazine in the readers rides section, then a few months later I saw it in person. Probably between 1982-1986.

Does anybody have a Hot Rod magazine collection from those years that they can look through? Or is anybody here friends with Chuck Hanson? I'm sure he would know of the car.

The fear in the eyes of everyone who picked on me when I was 5'2" in 9th grade,when I came back 5'11" in 10th and kicked all of their asses.That was awesome.

I sent Chuck a text and he said doesn't remember the car Jimmy. Hope you end up tracking it down, I'd love to hear more about it.

I believe it appeared in Muscle Cars magazine in the late 1980s, but could be wrong. For sure I remember a triple white car. I remember a guy who was like a manager for some Country artists, and he had a large Chevy collection, but I can't say for sure he was the owner at the time I saw it in print--could be conflating two articles.

I believe that was CK Spurlock? He had a lot of rare muscle cars back in the 80's but I don't remember him having a white LS6 convertible. I pitched all my Hot Rod magazines years ago when they tried making me take it the first time MCR went under but I still have every issue of Muscle Cars. I'll try looking through them over weekend and see if I can find anything.

That's the guy!

And you're prob right it wasn't him.

And now I'm wondering if it was Muscle Cars? I remember they had a red one. I don't think the white one was in a popular magazine, so if not Muscle Cars, something else, somewhat unexpected.

No way for me to go through my collection at the moment, but I'd bet the one in the Suydam collection is it.
