Default Re: The Briggs Chevrolet Ray Allen 70 LS6convertible

The Briggs car set the SS/EA record 2-3 times in the later part of 1970. It went 11.55, 11.50 and 11,33 for national records in its class. It had gone very low 11's in practice runs. In 72-73 Claude Urevig set records in the 10.97 sec range.
Car went 117-120's mph for 1/4 mile.

I sent enough stuff to the new owner to have most of the major graphics and decals made for the car.
As of last week the car was still being assembled so I'll be surprised to see how it looks also.
Hopefully it will have the Briggs Chevrolet and Truppi-Kling graphics done.

As far as comparing this car to other LS6 car values, IMO, The guy that buys this will pay more for its hisory than what other LS6 ragtops would sell for. We'll see come Sat night. Briggs car goes over before Jims car, so it can't hurt the value, but may push it up some.
