Default Re: The Briggs Chevrolet Ray Allen 70 LS6convertible

What I find very interesting is that the market value of LS6 ragtops is predicated on the assumption that the production total for these cars is near those of the rare hemi ragtop cars like Cudas. The figure that has generally been quoted is 18-20, and the argument often made by sellers is that if the production numbers of LS6 ragtops are comparable to that of hemi Cudas, then they should bring comparable money. What has been discussed elsewhere on this board is that the real number is likely closer to 200-300. I wonder what would happen if the corrected estimates were more widely circulated in collector circles, such as in the musclecar mags. I'm not saying the bottom would fall out of the LS6 ragtop market, but I'm sure that prospective buyers would have a different mindset believing that there may have been 300 of these cars built rather than 18.
