1970 LS6 TRIPLE BLACK RAGTOP

[RPOLS3]

I have that LS6 poster hanging here in my office, my brother has the Z-28 poster in his office - (He's the Camaro guy, I'm the Chevelle guy).

The LS6 was an 850 mile car, Z28 was a 200 mile car, but both had complete body off restorations. Chevelle sat outside next to the Yenko Deuce mentioned in previous post. If I recall the Duece was real rough - body only maybe, sat there for several years??

I worked for Richard washing cars and running errands the summer of 86 when I was 16 years old. At that time he was not too heavy into the Corvettes and musclcars but was mainly doing Mercedes - AMG conversions. It was through Richard that my Dad (and I) met most of the "car" people like Bill S. that we still hang out with today.

That Blue and White LS6 convert that Richard had was the Tinker Toy drag car that I found in Montana after Richard had sold it. I had this car @ the MCACN show this past November so it's alive and well.

Alive and well is an understatement...It is absolutely stunning!

-----Well Chris,,,If its the same car, my thoughts about it not being real way, way back must have been wrong. I do remember the car being pretty damn nice.
-----I dont remember any 1970 375 Nova from my Medina days but thats not all that surprizing as I had moved south to Ft.Lauderdale by that time........Bill S

I wondered if that was the same car. Could not have been too many no radio, blue, white bench, LS6 convertibles.

So you must have owned it for a while now? I think Richard was trying to sell it at one of the Vettefest shows when it was completed around 1990-1991?

Anyone know what happened to the Z-28 or the Deuce?

This pic is from a 1983 car show in Naperville, about 25 miles from Joliet. Could this be the car?

Well, you might think so as it looks like a twin to what I remember, BUT Bob Fuller was the original owner of that car and still owned it after the time i saw the other one.

Oddly I know that owner.

I lived 18 miles from Clinton Iowa and sold a car to Jerry Lampe, a restoration body man that worked for the Fuller brothers in Clinton. The car I sold to Jerry was a LS6 hardtop that I believe he later sold to the Fuller brothers.

That sale was a strange deal as I took a 1965 Griffith on trade that my partner had sold to Jerry about a year earlier.

It is still a small world.

------Knew Bob F well. Was it this year or last that several of us saw his old LS6 vert in Scottsdale??? I bought a 66 red Hemi Satellite 4spd from Jerome Shinkay that he had bought from Bob. It supposedly had won best of show at some Hemi convention. Loved the car but decided to sell it at an auction that Richard sponsored. Bob showed up with a blue 454 T-top 1970 coupe and when I didnt get enough for the Hemi in the auction we ended up trading cars so Bob got his Hemi back that he said he never wanted to sell in the first place. Somehow, all this rubbed Bob the wrong way and he was mad at me for years. I was the one who should of been mad as he slipped the Corvette past me with a very well done one piece nose that I never saw until after we had traded. Oh well. Sold the Vette rather quickly as it was a pretty nice old car even with the Eckler nose.......Bill S

Well, all of this goes back 30+ years for me.
BTW, Jerry Lampe's cousin Joe lived up the river from Clinton and I had bought a 69 Big block Corvette from him durning the same era. During the dealings Joe told me that he had once owned a 63 Chevy with the "mystery motor" ZL11 I believe was the code??
