My condolences about your Dad. I'm lucky mine is around and we're still fooling with cars.

You can post all the pictures you'd like of that car!!!!!

Hubba hubba!

Tim

My condolences Jim. I was not aware of your fathers passing so, very sad to hear. I have followed along with most of your posts for many years and they always made me smile. It is hard to beat a story about a rare car where the whole family is involved such as with yours. I think I am up to 5 Monaco Orange LS6's in my database. Hope you keep the car in your family and enjoy it for many more years.

I want to say thanks to everyone for the kind words, it means a lot to me. I grew up with having old/muscle cars due to my dad liking them. Him and I worked and played with these old cars for all of my life (I'm 58). He loved his hobby. This was his favorite and I still have it. Him and I built this car together.

Hi Jim it has been a pleasure having you as a member on our FB club for years, have seen the car a few times in many postings and it is stunning. Also my Sorrows go out to your family on your Dads passing.

Danny

What a great car and great history! My condolences for your father. I come from a car family myself. I remember seeing the LS6 at SCR 14.
