1971 LS6 Corvette sets new world record.

Warren, it just goes to show you that great cars will still bring record money. The buyers are getting smarter and not overpaying for cars with issues, at least it seems that way to me. BTW I have been to the Bloomington Gold show and next years theme for the special collection will be the L88 Corvettes so I would expect to see a spike in their prices in the next twelve months.

Steve,

I didn't go to Bloomington this year, because of all the hype for the '57 'vettes. I'm not a fan of the solid axle years. However I'll certainly be there next year!!!!!! I just love L88's.

Warren, I too can appreciate the solid axle cars but they are not my cup of tea either. They did have Al Wagners LS6 coupe in the Hall of Fame section, I looks great. You need to find an L88 to bring to next years show

Steve,
I remember seeing Al's Sunflower yellow car when he was having it judged a couple of years ago there. I really made a mistake not buying an L88 a few years ago when they were a lot more reasonable in price (compared to present day). Last year I was looking at those 3 on the judging field very closely, listening to the owners discuss various nuances between them, it was interesting.

Warren, those three cars were are pretty neat cars. I just got home from the BG auction and I thought that overall prices were pretty strong with the most notable sale being the featured black/black 67 435 conv. formally owned by Roby Price. It brought 445K not including buyers premium.

I wondered how the auction went this year. Roby Price flew out to the first Russo & Steele auction held in Monterey just after the NCRS National and was there to bid on my '69 L78 SS Camaro convertible. He and Milt Robson went at it for awhile.

Hey Warren, I'm glad Dean outbid them.
