Re: Hemmings e news: Ex-racer Chevelle rakes in $1.2
It's a May 1970 Build,so that rumor is totally debunked.Well into LS-6 territory by then..I've seen the paperwork & it all looks authentic to me to be a REAL LS-6 convertible built at the factory.I've never thought any different growing up, from all the years it was raced as well.
In Drag Racing Action Magazine March 06,they state Ray Allen reports Chevrolet only built 17 of these Chevelle Converts from the factory.If that isn't magazine sales hype and Ray really did indeed state this,I would like to know what he is basing this on,again,if he did in fact say this.
Remember NHRA rules required at least 50 units had to be built,for a Vehicle to qualify to run in Super Stock ...even EA class,and I am confident that at least 30 of these have been shown to be produced so far.
