1970 LS6 Convertible

[chevelleheart]

Guys does anyone have any Idea where the market is now for a documented 1970 LS6 Convertible? Now I know it's a broad range, but under 2 assumptions , not a survivor but a solid #2 car (driver)vs a Correct Frame off resto all NOS or orig parts. And for a car with and without the original drivetrain. My guess is for the doc,frame off orig drivetrain car $350 -$450 ? Frame off non orig drivetrain $250 - $350? Does that sound about right ? and for a documented #2 driver,non orig drivetrain $150-$200. Now the hardest one to put a price on would be the orig drivetrain non survivor car likely repainted . To me that could be $250 - $600 depending on history , milage, all the parts etc. Sorry I know it's a long winded question ?????? Thoughts anyone ? I may have a chance to buy one but I'm a little concerned on the price ? thx guys Bob You can PM me too if anyone has one LOL !!

A "documented" dark blue / black stripes / black interior LS6 convertible sold at Russo Steele for $200K on Saturday - a friend of mine claims the car is a phony - the seller had lots of documents EXCEPT no build sheet, no window sticker, no warranty plate - but LOTS of words about the low miles (21K) and all numbers match - any idea if my friend is correct if this car is a phony? - a #1 car should be worth $400 - 500K - a #2 car $250 - a full, no expense frame off would cost $150 today, and more if NOS parts were needed to make it right

If it was Astro blue it was a fake with a fake trim tag. It was sold at Barrett a few years ago as a Gobi Beige car with no docs, brought to Oregon, restored as the blue car with fake paperwork added. At least now it doesn't have the fake parerwork. I think back then I was told it's build date was too early for a LS6.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Chev Connection in Oregon was involved with this "LS6" as well as the 71 Z discussed in another thread. If you don't know about the Chev Connection, I'd suggest you dig deep (actually, you won't have to dig that deep) and you'll be able to make very quick judgements about some of his cars.

It had the 'telltale' Oregon Plate on it!

Did anybody here take a close look at the buildsheet of the Black LS6 convert that sold at Barrett Saturday with the supposedly added on A/C? Charley?

I think that is the one that has been on Ebay several times in the last couple years. If it is, it is also a clone. It has been talked about on here and on Team Chevelle.

The owner of that car told a friend of mine the 4492 carb.(Auto Trans.not Manual),& rearend are authentic to that LS-6 Convert.
If that is true,then he buried himself as it's holding a Manual trans.& the CCF 3:31 posi is L-34 specific.

Hey Rick,
I saw that and caught that already. Thanks for the response.
I was more curious if anybody might have a close up pic or looked at it closely as the number of clones with fake paperwork seems to be growing fairly rapidly.

Two questions regarding a certain Portland, OR based creator of popular Camaro, Chevelle, Nova muscle.........

1) Are the bidders pass and all fine print boilerplate, protecting the seller against any any/all created cars and created paperwork. If so many people believe that misc G.M muscle is being "created" by a known party, why isnt some one steping in to end this practice at B/J.

2) Could there also be a likely scenario, where the seller is bidding up and buying his own cars, so as to increase market interest, and then selling same car later at another auction or privately.
If this was the case, how would the seller circumvent the B/J fees ????????
