Re: 2011 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
I will be there there a week prior at Mandalay Bay for my friends wedding. I tried for a month to get them to push it back a week so I could go to the auction as well.

Re: 2011 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
Was in Vegas last weekend for my buddys wedding. I saw they had the tents set up and they were starting to advertise the action like crazy. They had a Black 71 Road Runner roped off in front of the Luxor Hotel. I tried to find a way into the event center to see if there were any cars in there but security wouldnt let me.

Just spoke with him a few minutes ago and he's made it to Albuquerque so far with no trouble. Says he's cruising at 70-75 all the way, even going uphill. Ha! I was afraid he would have to find a route around the mountains! Thanks for the pics Dan, and for keeping Glenn out of Vegas trouble. See ya in November [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] |
Re: 2011 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
I spoke with him too....he said it had much more power after the first tank full when he realized one of the spark plugs wires was not connected....it was a 5 Banger for nearly 300 miles, Ha!

Re: 2011 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
Thanks for taking the time to share the pics Dan. Anybody have comments on the LS6 Chevelle with the "engine built the same day as the car"? Anyone seen this before?

Re: 2011 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
Dan,
Thanks for sharing those.

Re: 2011 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
The Home-Brewing brought him $110K! BUYER BEWARE!

Re: 2011 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
It is possible for the car and engine to have been built the <span style="font-style: italic">"same day" </span>. The car build date (actually build <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">week</span></span>) is probably derived from the cowl tag (A-D representing the 1st thru the 5th week of the month). This is the <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">WEEK</span></span> that the assembly of the car was started, but it may not have been completed that week. The build DATE of the engine is when the assembly was actually completed per the Tonowanda stamp on the engine pad. So it is POSSIBLE to occur. I remember several well-documented/authenticated cars with engine assembly dates and car build dates being very close together. However, I am not saying this car is as reported or that the engine pad stamping is original.
* Rick Peters (Mr 70) educated me on this awhile back and may be able to fill us in more on this factory process. |
Re: 2011 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
Sam,
You're right. The cowl tag indicates the body assembly date and not the date the body was mated to the chassis. Given the sequence of events required to build the car it is entirely possible. Also, as you indicated the body has a build week not a particular day. So, this could have been a Monday engine in a Friday car. Ed |
Re: 2011 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
The LS6 Chevelle was discussed beginning in July on Team Chevelle. Reach your own conclusions. I wouldn't be a buyer of this being an LS6 with all drivetrain components being the born-with components. Hopefully, for the buyer's sake, the window sticker and POP are at least the real deal.
