Great find on an awesome car, but I would definitely have to do something different with those stripes!

Congrats on the find and the purchase Patrick!!

Thanks guys and especially Dan. You just can’t beat Dan in every aspect of the hobby. He’s a class act and welcome at my house anytime. As for the gold stripes?? It’s something I wouldn’t have done but it’s a documented dealer change and in my opinion it makes the car even more rare. The really cool thing is the original owner still lives only about 15mi from the second owner who passed away in January. The second owner is solely responsible for the preservation of the car. He didn’t change a single thing and was only interested in saving a iconic car. I drove the 15 mi to the original owner’s house after purchasing the car to get photos with him and the car he ordered new. He was very grateful that I came rolling up with the car in my trailer. He told me about ordering the car and getting the dealer to agree to change the stripes to gold before he took delivery. He said it was simply to be different. He also stated that he had 4 close friends back then and they all had LS6 cars. The original owner was responsible for all the day 2 mods as well and of course has no memory of what he did with the smog, carb, air cleaner etc. etc. He plainly stated it was junk to all us performance guys. Considering he lives within 20mi or so from Yenko Chevrolet (the afternarket day2 capital) the gold stripes and all the day2 mods make total sense.

Wow! I can just see the joy and happiness.....the big smile you put on the original owners face. He had to have been so excited to see his old Chevelle and more importantly he had to see your spirit, enthusiasm, knowledge and passion is all about this Very Special LS6 Chevelle, knowing this makes any former owner very happy.....I cannot wait to see the Chevelle Patrick. I am so happy you have and own the lowest mile LS6 Chevelle in the world.....now that's what I call a Happy Ending :-)
You will be going out to your Garage every morning for the next several months and pinching yourself.

Enjoy it my friend,

Dan

That's interesting. I'm from the south hills of PA, but have never heard of that town. Amazing, amazing find, wow.

The car was from the Monessen area. Patrick mis-pronounced it in his video. It's right along the Monongahela river. A bunch of LS-6's were sold new in that area. I had an Astro blue one from H&B which is basically on the other side of the river.

Just curious... is the saddle color comfortgrip wheel factory? I would have though it would be black to match the column / hub.

It was changed from what I heard.

Thanks Pattrus; yeah, I know Monessen well, lol, and I guess all of these Indian names are kind of hard to pronounce if you're not from around there and grew up with them.

novadude, he says in the video that it was changed out by the original owner BITD.

The Buicks had the colored sport comfort cushion steering wheels in different colors, I'm certain that is what that is with the OEM horn button

OK... makes sense. I was looking at the video at work, so I had the sound off.

I'll bet there were a lot of guys that were able to buy cars like that back when industry was booming all along the banks of the Mon river. Like most mid-west industrial towns, Pittsburgh (and surrounding area) was full of hot rodders back in those days. Most of those cars didn't survive the abuse and the salt-covered roads in western PA winters.

I believe you are 100% correct :)

Dan

New to the site. That’s a awesome car...

Man, I have the perfect early take off unrestored intake for that car with the right patina. It even has the original over spray and all. The intake is MINT!!

How about posting a photo for us rare humans that DO NOT subscribe to facebook.

X2!! Dave

My green ls6 convertible came from h&b too

Pics of your green LS6 convertible Dave, or it didn't happen.

All I can say is Congratulations and wish it was residing in my garage!
