The W/S is legit.
The non functional domed hood is the standard SS hood.All 1970 SS Chevelles got them,unless the customer specified to upgrade for the working cowl ind. flapper door hood and pay extra for RPO ZL-2.
Regular Chevelle Flat hood was not possible on a Super Sport.

No Cowl Induction option, No Gauges, No Smog equipment equals a non desirable car. $ speed is a good thing though.
Is there a build sheet? If there is no build sheet the POP has no pull what's so ever on documenting the car and if the window sticker is not real then this car is way over priced.

If it does have a build sheet then the car is priced fairly at $80K
Just my 2 cents.</div></div>

The legit W/S shows A-51 Strato-Bucket Front Seats.

My step-son is almost 15 yo, and he is muscle car crazy. He loves all cars, exotics, diesel trucks (so big now it's crazy at least here in SWFL), but most of all, old Muscle cars. He loves the FnF franchise and watches them literally tons of times no matter how many times he sees it and he's disappointed if there's more story than racing (F-7 was a disappointment to him), and he is more obsessed with my '68 Camaro than I am (well, almost). If there are more out there like him, the hobby will never die, and the old cars, although they may fluctuate just like any other commodity (of which they have become whether we like it or not), will at least maintain their values if not grow at a reasonable rate. Life is cyclical, as is pretty much everything, but the cars from the (first?) Golden Age of muscle cars will never be worthless and will, I believe, maintain their values very well in the future.

Rick my bad eyes, I re read the ad then deleted that comment, but you Quoted it quickly. It is in fact a legit Window sticker. I wonder if the cars build sheet is still somewhere in the car?

I am a 1972 model.....a forty something guy and am Muscle car crazy, my uncle asked me last night &quot;why do you love these cars so much you weren't born when your car was new&quot;.......I don't have an answer but I do love these old cars:-)

PS: That LS6 would tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people.........supply and demand will keep the prices up there for special cars.

1972 model here too. My Chevy II was born 7 yrs before I was. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

So POP's have no pull without a build sheet? Really? I think the Astro Blue car is very desirable despite not having a Cowl hood or gauges and I'm sure plenty of other people think so also.

Not the same..P-51's are exceedingly rare.. The top of the line rare musclecars will keep their worth just like the vintage foreign cars but the rank and file cars.. no way.

You all also need to realize in 10-12 years driverless cars are gonna be common and there might be a day after that we will not be able to drive our cars on public roads unless it is also made driverless.

A guy near my brother was into stock Model T's died a few years ago..kids sold the stuff for cheap..no one wanted it...sat on the stuff for a couple years until they finally realized they had to drop the price to dump it...and their prices were not high to begin with.

Model T's and Autopia cars don't have 500ft pound or 4:10s- both of those were/are for people who ride buses and trains. There will always be some who don't fit in to that box- if it's over why are the Bandit T/A's blowing up?. 35+ years later some are banking it ain't over-

My kids are treehuggers that live in SF and drive Volts, but even they are salivating at the thought of coming home for the holidays and seeing Daddy's 69 Z he picked up this spring

That Astro Blue LS6 is awesome... Looks so unsuspecting. Amazing. To me the exhaust manifolds, missing smog, and a host of other smaller items are trivial. You can get all of those items in the course of a week...

For what its worth, I'm 28 years old and own an original '69 Z28 and '70 LT1 Corvette Convertible with my younger brother (who is also a member). We're about as rare as that Astro Blue LS6. My brother and I are always actively looking for parts and cars. I grew up on the show fields of NCRS and Bloomington meets and have met countless members at shows like MCACN, BJ, and Russo Steele, etc. I'll own vintage muscle cars and classics for the rest of my life.

Being said, I have lots of friends who are into cars (mainly Euro exotics) but not one who is remotely interested in the vintage mods, original numbers matching, dated components, etc. My friends like driving in my cars but we've all heard the gig - they're loud, smell bad, can't charge your phone in them, don't have a sunroof, etc, etc.

The future of the hobby will be uncertain for the Gen Y crowd. I will admit, the generation just slightly older than I am... The Gen X crowd with discretionary income, however, in my opinion, will continue to spend big $ on cars because they're art work. This is the generation spending six figures on restorations with multiple cars. The population of members who fit that bill far trump the participation from my fellow gen y folk.
