Default Re: 1970 Chevelle LS6, 4881 Original Miles, #s Match

-----I was the second owner of this LS6. I bought it from Rick. The primary reason for the resto is that the car was in an accident back while I owned it with a partner. The amount of damage has always been the subject of discussion but suffice to say, the whole car was painted after that accident. The work was done by one of the best body and paint guys I ever knew. He has since passed. The car was owned by a salesman at Bill Jacobs Chevrolet named Horace when it was fixed. Someone in Michigan bought it from him and I lost track of it. The next time I saw it the car was at one of Danas auctions probably about 9 years ago, and the paint had gone substantially down hill. The car then made its way to California and was traded around some more. It was in the last Russo+Steele auction and I noticed Terbeeks name on the board but there was nobody there to talk to. He has had some nice cars and to his credit the car looked good. If you look at the vintage pics you can see the need for underhood freshening and now you know the reason for the paint. Any more questions that I can answer I will be happy to do so. Restored or not Ricks old car is a treasure and if any LS6 is worth the money I would think this one would be........Bill S
