Default Re: "Mystery" Chevelle LS-6 in NEW Muscle Car Review???

Charlie
I talked to the owner today and he is removing the shields. The smog will have to be ordered. He is selling the car right now for 59,000, and in my mind with the market for LS6's as it is, that's a deal. I fully understand you all in here are going for concourse cars all the time. My point is, someone in here has to realize that the fact that it was so fully documented, has the original motor, and is a rare color and NON stripe car, I would not shy away from it just because it has heat shields that take 20 minutes to remove and needs a 15oo smog set up. Email me if any of you have interest.
Joe C.-How many Monaco Orange plain jane, original motor LS6 Chevelles have you seen? How many plain Jane Monaco Orange LS 6's were made? 10? 100? If you don't think that makes it a rare car, then OK. I think it's a rare car. I know the difference between non cowl and cowl delete- and you know exactly what I meant- I don't send my email to a proofer before I post it. The car is a Monaco Orange, NON COWL, NON STRIPE CAR.

O.K., Let's all hug now, and, respect that we ALL have our areas of expertise. No matter what this car NEEDS, it is a really neat & rare piece. It's certainly one that I would be proud to own. Peace!!

Dave,great list!My pet peeves are new stereos and aftermarket shifters.How about some period pieces here as well.I hate to see a mint dash hacked for a full face stereo.I remember running a old Mr.Gasket(before Hurst) Verti-Gate shifter on the street.Ouch! I can still feel the pain in my fingers from pulling up to constantly down shift.I know auto shifters were pretty much non existant in the late 60's early 70's..What about those Hi-Jackers?Now those I don't miss either..........

whitetop, are you going to the Mopar Nat's in a few weeks? Can you check out this Nostalgia class and see if the cars are being "classified" correctly by the judges? The only drawback to having a class like this is whether you could find at least two judges per show that could correctly judge the cars. Most clubs or show promoters do not have anyone that has the knowledge like you to know if an item was available at a certain period in time. What do you think? Maybe only allow cars manufactured up to a certain year say 1974 or 75? There is another aspect also, safety issues with tires, shocks, seat belts, and other items. I would not want to see a guy come rolling into a show on a set of 30 year old tires, because they are not reproduced, and then have a sidewall give way...........................RatPack............. ........

Maybe lets start a new thread on this subject................
