Re: Why would Chevrolet restrict the LS-6?
 
I don't know anything about LS-6 Chevelles, but could it have to do with them not being able to come up with a good looking hood stripe color to match those 4 colors? IF the hood stripes were optional on other than LS-6s, was that option also deleted from those colors?
Just throwing it as out an idea. I don't know if the hood stripes were standard on LS-6s or not.

D88 stripes were an option. With black or white being the two available colors they would go with pretty much any color. One would think that some of those colors could have been offered with no stripe option if they thought they would clash.

Black goes with everything Verne, including CG, and, yes, stripes were available on an LS6 Chevelle:

Nugget Gold and Camaro Gold also share the same paint code in 1970 - code 53

White goes with everything too.

I was chatting with a friend about this and he posed these questions:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Did Oshawa build everything that the spring color(s) were available on?

Does anyone have a spring special painted mid- or full-size Chevy not from Oshawa? </div></div>
