Very original LS6
 

I was at a car show and talked to a guy who was the second owner of a LS6 Chevelle that had not seen daylight in over 20 years. He had to rebuild the engine but other than that it had original paint and interior. To bad it was not better colors.

I love this color combo,and know that rivar clear seat cover anywhere.
That's Lombards own Mark Panegasser.His Dad owned it before him.
He's fully aware of the detailed corrections it needs and is slowly dialing it in.

Gotta say I prefer the cloth seats to the vinyl any day.

they can all be red or blue..its nice to see something else besides gold too

Re: Very original LS6
 

I love that white/white top/white interior 70 that was modified by motion. I was looking for the pics of it but couldn't find the thread. Anyone have pics of it? It might have had tan interior.

is what i was trying to say...

Re: Very original LS6
 

I do not mind the green outside but really do not care for the gold int. black or white int would have been better

Its funny that is has a Hedman headers decal on the air cleaner when it has manifolds. I like the color combo.

That color combo was fairly common in my area back in the early 70's...you guys are fussy...I'll take it if nobody wants it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

X2 !!! My 70 1/2 Z-28 was green with the white stripe package ... green interior. TAZ

Re: Very original LS6
 

^ my 70 Z28 was Forest Green with the tan interior, I was NOT a fan of the green exterior but figured since it had a tan interior, I could paint it any color I wanted ... that is why it is black today. I wouldn't consider any green interior cars (or shlushboxes) when I was shopping for mine - and I looked at a LOT of them, even after I already had mine (mid 1977 acquisition) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...ter1981cua.jpg


re: LS6:

yup, lots of gold guts green cars back then ...

for today AND yesterday, I've always preferred the cloth seats, WAY cool car, lucky family

Re: Very original LS6
 

Cool - thanks for posting. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Very original LS6
 

I love that color combo. As stated above, I get tired of seeing black and red ones all the time. And that interior is killer as well. That's really a pretty contemporary color combo.
:thumbsup:

Re: Very original LS6
 

Very nice car, don't mind the colors just wish they didn't paint the engine when it was rebuilt. And it could use some cragers [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: Very original LS6
 

The car had headers on it but when they rebuilt the engine they put manifolds on it

Re: Very original LS6
 

Great car - It's an LS6 that survived. Who cares what color it is. Good on his family for saving it...

But those wheels - Jeez they are an ugly epidemic. If you want custom wheels, go vintage. Those all-chrome torque thrust wannabes are just hideous. But that's a small correction, and the only one I'd make.

AGREED!! I am over them as well, and they are on EVERYTHING. I'm trying to sell the same 16&quot; chrome/aluminum TT's on my Camaro so I can get some O/S Cragars, which are the proper wheel for it.

Re: Very original LS6
 

I think I remember this car from about 7 or 8 years ago, either on this site or the Chevelle site. Wasn't it languishing for many years in an alley garage in Chicago proper? Seems to me the son was asking some questions about it with a minimum of information posted, and most people thought he was just BS'ing.

Re: Very original LS6
 

I am partial to green with tan. Here's my 67 Mustang.

Re: Very original LS6
 

Forest Green/Saddle looks great to me. I think that gold interior also looks great.

Re: Very original LS6
 

Oh man is that a nice Mustang. 289 or 390?

Beautiful

Re: Very original LS6
 

green and tan looks great. Green with the gold cloth is something I would expect the dad ordered the outside, and the wife ordered the interior.

Re: Very original LS6
 

Just out of curiosity was the factory tach standard equipment in the LS6?

Re: Very original LS6
 

no it was a option

Re: Very original LS6
 

Bill this is a different car it has been in Elmhurst since 1972
