Thank you for recognizing the main point of my post. The car when we had it was a good frame up, but definitely not concourse. We never said it was. The whole selling point of the car was that it was rare in that it was a Monaco Orange, stripe delete,cowl delete,numbers matching LS6. In any collector's mind, that is a rare car. In a world where fake cars abound, we had a build sheet, window sticker,original bill of sale,original financing papers,along with the log of the first 10 years of ownership including every oil change, tune up, etc. along with all the receipts for any work done. We also had the receipts of the frame up that was done on it. I agree with Rick that at that time it was not a perfect resto. There were aftermarket parts on the car, BUT all the original parts were in boxes in the trunk. BEFORE the article was done, the new owner rerestored the car- including pulling the engine, stripping and repainting the undercarriage,doing the interior, and installing all the parts that were in the trunk. Shaw did the article AFTER this restoration, and I know no one around here has seen it, because the car hasn't left Florida since the resto. In my opinion, I didn't think it was fair to label this car as a poor restoration that was overpriced, floated around all the dealers, and wasn't really rare, it was just an orange LS6. Comments like this could hurt the owner's chances of selling the car, because people come here to gain information and help. Again, in no way do I question Rick's knowledge of Chevelles. However, I also have a fair knowledge and experience with Chevelles , and I can tell you as this car is today- it is a rare, nicely done, documented, investment quality car. I work every day- if anyone has questions or just wants to talk about cars, call me.
