I hate to be a nay-sayer, but about the 1st photo in this post: The "Benchmark" LS6. There has been some controversy over the years wrt whether it is a true survivor or not and I ain't gonna rehash that. But, I was saddened to learn over the weekend that the stripes were painted on the car recently involving original checked lacquer removed and fresh paint applied!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif Now we can put this one to bed - it definitely is not a Benchmark car anymore https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif ! I am truly bummed as I have pined for this car for years and desired to own it one day. To me it was the ultimate street brawler with its non console, non stripe, non cowl induction hood. And now this. Oh gloom, despair and agony on me..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

WTFO!? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif


I am thru with my rant now...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Sam, I have seen this car on Ebay in the past and your right, I don't remember the stripes on the car. The reason the car stands out is becuase of the dealership it is from, Roger Dean Chevy. I remember seeing the dealer badge on the car and reading the same history on it...

What were these guys thinking putting stripes on the benchmark.

Re: Barrett Jackson Monday Photos!
 

WOW, striping a solid black LS/6 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif..Kumby drop the paint gun...BKH

Re: Barrett Jackson Monday Photos!
 

There was only one '09 car shown, but I am disappointed over how almost ALL of them I've seen in years are incorrect.

By the way Bruce, you sure are living up to your legend!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
