Awesome, what exact color is it?

Re: Cars you DID NOT BUY.
 

Is it known as &quot;Taupe&quot;? It is marked on the build sheet as that color name but looks very similar to Shadow Grey. I have seen one other car with this paint name that looks like Shadow Grey.

Dark Taupe Metallic / code 17 in Canada

Wow, that's a beautiful color.

Re: Cars you DID NOT BUY.
 

In around '75-'76 the neighbor across the street had a friend drop off a Z16 that he wanted to sell because he couldn't afford the gas. Complete and original $1100. asking. Red, black vinyl roof. Of course at that time I could spare about $150. a month. No go. I have no idea where it went.

It might be Rick, maybe Bill and I will have to do some follow up and see what we can find out. It certainly does appear to be close to the picture Dick posted. I am hoping to see the Owner at MCACN.

----I want to say that the trim tag is a --, but I'm not exactly clear on it. Ill call Bob today as its been too long since we last gabbed a bit anyway and tell him his car is being discussed. Maybe I can move him forward and get him to show up here. Years ago I sold him another odd LS6. It was a red, white painted top, white bench gut, auto with an AM radio and absolutely no other options. I know he sold that one but have no idea where it went!.....Bill S

I remember that red car very well. It was the first LS6 I ever drove - at one of the NCRS tune up nights after he got it dialed in. I think I remember that he sold it to John L. the Ziebart guy - not sure what happened to it after that.

Dick, that is in fact the car I was referring to but cannot find a copy of his buildsheet in my files though it is there somewhere. It is not a Canadian build car as it is an LS6 and if memory serves me it had the - - cowl tag and &quot;Taupe&quot; written on the buildsheet.

Re: Cars you DID NOT BUY.
 

----Jake,,,Just talked to Bob and the tag is a --. The color (I swear I'm not lying) is &quot;Baker Van Grey&quot;. He found the mix code back when he had it painted (in laquer) but says the code has disappeared out of any new paint books. Unfortunatly, Bob has had a lot on his plate for awhile and just couldn't get the car ready for the LS6 display this year......Bill S
