Now that one is much more appealing to me then the first one. Strips and stick help, need to find out what the OEM gear ratio was as this car would be signing at 60MPH on the highway.............

While the auto may not be as desirable for some - it's still an LS6 convertible.....

I had a 1970 LS6 with a turbo 400 and 4.10 rear end, When you smashed the pedal all hell broke loose . That car was a beast and a blast to drive. 4 speed might be more desirable but the automatic cars get it done.

Agree. Auto or stick doesn't matter to me as far as enjoyment. I like and own both.

It does seem to affect value to some people, but it's still an LS6 convertible. I wouldn't kick it out of the garage.

I agree 110% If there is a automatic Muscle Car to own its the LS6 !!! Back in our street racing days (Late 70's early 80's) this was proved as fact as we roamed from town to town. Plus with the buckets and console there is No better looking auto setup .

Lack of stripes, bench seat cloth, and no ZL2 probably cost Daves car 125-150k.


FWIW The current care take of the Black RS/Z is in Canada and told me he turned down multiple US 200k offers from 2 different US collectors.
