My LS6
 

Hi all, It's been a while since I posted on here. It's hard for me to believe that we've owned this car now for 35 years, 2nd owner. This car belongs to my dad and I, he had since passed. Lots of memories in this ole car. Cleaned it up and waxed it, first time in a long time. Thought I would post a few pics. Hope that is ok. If not in the correct section please move. Sorry for the upside down pics, don't know how to correct.

Hi Jim,

So sorry to hear about your Dad. May he RIP.

Your LS6 is among my all time Favorite LS6 Chevelles. Keep her forever....and give it to your Son when he is ready :)

Hi Dan, thanks for the post. Yeah I miss my dad, It's not the same anymore. He taught my son how to drive it. He grins from one ear to another. He likes cars but not as much as I would like him to. He has other interests also.

Here is a picture I took of the Russel Family at SCR14 July of 2011.

Dan

Wow, thanks Dan for that pic. brought tears to my eyes. I saved it. Glad you remember us. I remember talking with you

Hi Jim, so sorry for your loss. Glad to see you posting, and I corrected the pics. BTW I love your car and you and your son will continue on with this beautiful car, like you and your dad...

My Pleasure Jim :)

Dan

Thank you Steve !

Sorry for you loss Jim. I'd get your son behind the wheel as soon as possible and let your Dad and the car gods work their magic on him.

Sorry to hear about your father.

I remember seeing this car at SCR 14 (2011) as well, great car.

My condolences about your Dad. I'm lucky mine is around and we're still fooling with cars.

You can post all the pictures you'd like of that car!!!!!

Hubba hubba!

My condolences Jim. I was not aware of your fathers passing so, very sad to hear. I have followed along with most of your posts for many years and they always made me smile. It is hard to beat a story about a rare car where the whole family is involved such as with yours. I think I am up to 5 Monaco Orange LS6's in my database. Hope you keep the car in your family and enjoy it for many more years.

I want to say thanks to everyone for the kind words, it means a lot to me. I grew up with having old/muscle cars due to my dad liking them. Him and I worked and played with these old cars for all of my life (I'm 58). He loved his hobby. This was his favorite and I still have it. Him and I built this car together.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. Great LS6, just beautiful.

Doesn’t get much better than a car Family :)

Love the 57! Never ever let her go!

Dan

Love that classy color!

Hi Jim it has been a pleasure having you as a member on our FB club for years, have seen the car a few times in many postings and it is stunning. Also my Sorrows go out to your family on your Dads passing.

Danny

What a great car and great history! My condolences for your father. I come from a car family myself. I remember seeing the LS6 at SCR 14.

Sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing pics of the car though. It's beautiful.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I am sure that this car holds a lot of great memories.

Very sorry to hear of your dad passing Jim. I always enjoy seeing your car

here's one car my dad bought back in 1962. He or we have never seen it together in all those years. Seems like once we get started on it something was always put in front of it. Flathead runs, has most all original parts to put together. Maybe here soon I can get it together for him.

Is that a 33?

no, 34

Your Dad had great taste in cars.

Killer Chevelle... absolutely beautiful. I also like the little 34 5 window coupe... with Kelsey Hayes wires. I grew up playing with flatheads.

found this pic of our Chevelle on a metal sign, was taken at Muscle car Nationals in Union Grove WI in mid 80's. Sorry for the pics. don't know how to correct

..

Very nice-I have that sign on the wall in our garage!

my Nova and Chevelle

Good grip! ^^

Who's up for a swim! :)

Jim,

Who made that Metal sign back in the day? Did they contact you and get your permission to
use your CHevelle.....they must have sold many of those. I hope you get a percentage of each sign sold :)

Dan

That nova is killer!!

Hi Dan, no we get no royalties from the sign. If memory serves me, we signed a piece of paper waiving all rights of the photo's. Didn't even knew they put the car on the sign. A friend told me he had a picture of our car on a sign, thats how we found out. Car has also been in several books due to those pictures. Have no idea who made the metal sign.
