Don's Chevelle did do quite well especially considering what the other LS6's were bringing. Just goes to show what an impecable restoration and sales description can do besides the fact that its rarely seen and appealing color combination did not hurt. Congrats Don though sorry to see it leave the area.

Congrats to Don and Judi with a sale of 118k for their LS6 Chevelle.

I was told I drove it further than Don, which was from the outside tent to the block! Car had 5.9 miles on the odometer when it sold and it was indeed a sight to see. The workmanship was outstanding, truly like stepping back in time.

And the new owner drove it home to Fort Wayne, (literally)...NOT in a trailer!

While I generally prefer '70 Challengers over 'Cudas, that black on black on black Hemi 'Cuda with dog dish caps was pretty darn nice.

The plum crazy Hemi Challenger 'vert was pretty darn nice too.

There really were so many incredibly nice/rare cars, my head was spinning watching it.

Didn't I see a blue '66 (?) coronet Hemi, auto that seemed in treat shape go for around $50K? That car looked exactly like the first Hemi I ever saw. Only beautiful under the hood!

Hey! I would like to see some posts about what a great car and good deal the buyer got on Don's LS6. My name is Bob Krouse and I am the proud new owner of this wonderful Chevelle I can not tell you all what a thrill it was to buy a car like this at the auction (1st time) and drive it home. Although I am new to the supercar community, I spent the last two years restoring a 1972 Datsun 240Z. (that took 1st place for judged, first generation Zs and the People's Choice award at the 2008 Cleveland Rock Z show)
I wanted to let you know that the car has gone to a good home in Northern Indiana. Also, today, I am joining the Yenko Supercar Club and entering the car in the November Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals.
I look forward to meeting some of you and getting some good feedback about how to make Don's (now Bob's) LS6 even better.

Awesome and welcome to the site! I was just telling Don yesterday that it was a shame that he put all that blood, sweat and tears into that car and never got an opportunity to show it off. He spoke very highly of you and was very glad to hear the car performed flawlessly on it's maiden voyage (when you drove it home). Again, welcome to the site and looking forward to seeing you and the car at the show. Nice to see where these cars once again bring people together and create new friendships.

-------Robert,,,I got up close and personal with Dons fine LS6 when I had a few minutes at the auction and Im not sure you will have much to do. Go to the fridge, get a cold one (or two) and just sit in the garage for awhile and soak it all in. You are the proud owner of a really well restored LS6,,,enjoy!!!!!!!!!!.........Bill S
