Default Ls6 ls5 l78

Having owned an L78 car and currently own LS6 and LS5 cars, it is a narrow market. Do I think they are of equal or very close value? Gotta say YES. If it is a correct paper work car, I would pay the same for an LS5 car, maybe a dash more for an LS6 car, only because the real L78 cars are harder to come by.
Only die hard 70 guys know what they are. But my personal opinion as a life time chevelle guy, to the right person an L78 car is awesome, you just need to get the right buyer.
People go all GOOGOO at a stop light when they see the SS454 on the fender.
Real car guys will hear the mechanical cam shaft when they see the SS396 and think its right on.
They are rare, just not as popular with the not educated car people, money people like the flash.....

Just my BS unfact based opinion......

Helmut - you have a couple of gems for sure. Ours was a very early Van Nuys production with buckets / 4 speed. Produced one day later than one of the earliest produced LS6 convertibles on record......both Van Nuys cars and both shipped to the Denver area.

I’d rather have a l78 than my ls5 I looked for over a year and went with the ls5 over the l78 just because I couldn’t find one
