[quote=PeteLeathersac]Welcome aboard Russ!.
Regardless of build sheet info, is it sure this car was delivered new as a Hult or Thorstad car?. Also regarding the 608 Washington address noted on the build sheet, was either the Hult or Thorstad dealership ever operating at this address or was it perhaps a billing address/offices?. Best of luck finding your Dad's LS6!. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete --------------------- Dad always said he bought the car from thorsads. This car sat on the lot until august of 1970 when dad bought it and according to the salesman, was the last LS6 that they had because the 71s were coming in. Dad wanted to buy a new car in 69 and went to the dealership and swears that they had 10 yenkos (camaros and chevelles) on the lot, but he didn't quite have enough money saved to buy a camaro. He waited till 70, looked at a yenko duece, but since he is 6'3" couldnt really fit in it. The dealership's demo chevelle has a blue/white top/white interior, LS6, 4 speed, convertible. He fell in love and went back a few weeks later, but the green chevelle was all that was left. |

you know last year I had a car that pulled up behind me while putting racing fuel in the camaro (not too many places to get it around here). It was just like your car, it was all original. Same exact place your trail went cold according to your original post, which is unbelievable. If it pops up again I will get his number for you. It may still be in the area.

Ok, good to know. The 3rd owner showed me the guys business card which said he worked for carbco in St. charles, but that card was from 1983. An search of the net shows that he now has a real estate business in geneva. I will ask dad about the nova that he looked at.

Believe that is <span style="font-style: italic">Forest</span> Green. The mud flaps were very popular in Ohio. What with studded snow tires, all kinds of things were flung up off the road....including the <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">road</span></span>.
