1970 Chevelle LS6 Convertible

[Mr70]

It was found in far Western IL. or Iowa during the late 80's I recall.
An old hound Dog turned the Gram Bros,(Volo Auto Museum) onto it right when Muscle car prices in general were starting to skyrocket,they paid him a few 100,bought the car for a few grand and had it quickly restored & ready for one of their auctions.
I remember hearing the seller was elated to get that amount for this old convertible back then.
News spread quickly throughout the Chicagoland area and I was told Tony Begley was trying to get to the car before they did.Tony was seeing some serious money being realized at his store,(NICAB) Northern Il. Classic Auto Brokers,as were we all.
It was restored very hurriedly & poorly back then,judging by todays standards.I saw it in person at Dana Mecums Boone Co. Fairgrounds auction once,then later on at Danas Arlington Pk. race track auction after that.I think that was in 1997/98?
It's was really making the rounds back then and was featured in many magazines & hard cover books.
I saw it on line recently and can tell many of its overlooked details have been dialed in correctly now.
It's the real deal.

Many, but not all the details. Still has the El Camino/Wagon grille emblem.
