:D

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 .

As I recall in 70 is when they changed the turbo 400 to where you hammer it in low and it automatically shifts into second but at a higher rpm and hits hard.......Lots-O-fun.

or 1st to 2nd and back to 1st really fast does it as well.

To each their own. Personally for me, every muscle car I've owned has been a 4 speed. My Dad and uncle's who all bought and raced these cars when they were brand new. All were 4 speeds. Nothing better than having that control/feel when going through those gears. ROB

Slapstick upshift too. :burnout:

Exactly !!! and on the street where the traction was iffy at best it could be unbeatable , And I'm a hard core 4spd guy,All my car's are stick except my 70 Chevelle

In stock trim and tires, they certainly do good burnouts. (lol)

12.44 stock trim. Is that an average for these cars?

A Crisp Tune , Slicks , Headers, 4:10’s & a Vega torque converter would dip into the 11’s not to bad for a couple stoner kids in 1979/80 driven to the track

This LS6 convert was the first one I had ever heard of. In my opinion it is probably one of the best. I think I recall touch up paint work but history, options, paperwork etc set this one apart. But I would also rather have a Hardtop.

SOLD $300K

Your damm right he did...................

Great car even brought good money in this perfect storm of a bad time to be selling a car.

Well glad to say I was wrong/low. Car was down from it's fall bid but still pretty strong money.

I missed the actual coverage IF that is., it was on or maybe at commercial LOL Does anyone know of YouTube link for the car going over block?

At the 5:32:35 mark Mike.

I am Bob Fullers grandson. Does anyone know who own this car now? What collection it is in? Thank you.

I visited a guys farm in Central Ontario 15 or so years back - who had 4 barns full (and I do mean FULL of very collectable cars) packed in so tight you couldn't get in between lots of them! Saw a lot of R code aluminum front end Ford stuff and lots of big Wedge and Hemi cars as well!
In the back of one barn he had a black LS6 '70 Chevelle SS convertible - perfect white top and interior - with cowl hood and flapper/white stripes, 21000 original miles sitting on 4 flat original lettered tires. I was told it had an M22 trans and 4:10 rear.
It was very dusty from sitting in there but looked perfect body-wise and I was told after some marital issues he sold most all of the cars and I always wondered what happened to that Chevelle.
I always regretted not noting the VIN - would be interesting to know where it finally landed and for how much!

I see these quotes all the time. I don't have a crystal ball. Depending upon your time horizon, you may be right. Maybe I should invest in silver. I don't know the future. But I do know history.

People started pushing gold and silver in the 80s.

Let's say I invested $477 in gold in Dec. 1982 (just happens to be the spot price that month). I held it all these years, and now it is worth a tick under $1900 (current spot).

Silver is virtually the same (different numbers, same ratio). Worth about 4 times as in 1982.

Had I invested $477 into a dow index fund, with all the dividends reinvested over the years, I would have approximately 960 times my initial investment, or over $45,000.

The market is hard to stomach sometimes. Sucks when it is down. But it is up about 70% of the time.

----There you go, Lynn. I know I could make more with more money in the market, but Jan and I have what we need and I get to sit here in the cave and look at what I built on a cold winter day (not today as it's in the 50's) but I think you know what I mean....Bill S
