Original paint black LS6

Not to mention just flat out non-paying bidders. Happens all the time on lower priced stuff, I imagine it happens even more on higher prices stuff.

I think it just shows there are still people out there with more money than common sense.

Personally I think Danny is likely right on this one. I am not seeing many restored LS6's bring that kind of money and even survivors are not that close. Take the green/green one that was sold he last year for considerably less money. I cannot see someone paying that much for this car but I could be wrong. If someone did, major congratulations to the seller!

I don't think that car was too far out of acceptable range on price. If a guy can do a lot of the restoration labor himself, he won't be too far underwater when done and other than not having a factory tach, that car had all the desirable options in my book, namely Black paint, M-22 and 4.10's. When done, very desirable and you don't find a lot of black cars for sale. Great car.

I would have bid, but my wife knows where my guns are and she'd have come out shooting if I brought that home right now. Already upset her with the last two I bought.

I now have that in writing so when I find you that car you have been wanting I do not want to hear an argument. J/K [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]

When I was selling the pilot LS6 in Scottsdale a few years back, I had a nice chat with a Canadian fellow who was a big Chevelle collector. If memory serves he had around six or seven LS6 coupes- every one was black. Not that he was a buyer of this one(maybe) point being that color makes some folks arms stretch much longer than for other flavors.

Wait ten years. We just might see this car as a bargain at 80K.

In 10 years will the younger generation care for these cars as most muscle car owners are up there in age right now?
We will see.

NO..older folks will be selling them off to pay for their retirement dropping the price down&gt;&gt;&gt;guys who instead of saving for retirement in their younger years spent all their money on cars ( I know plenty of guys like that).. not enough interest in younger guys.

The American dream is no longer for much of the younger population...sad that's a fact. A small amount of guys who have done well will have huge collections in the future..already seeing it

The golden age of the hobby was 2000-2006..will never come back.

the auction looked fishy numbers hanging in the 50,000 area for days then somebody smacks a 80thou bid looks like somebody may have set a trap??
