Re: The Briggs Chevrolet Ray Allen 70 LS6convertible
I'm goin' with the one that was raced. Same reason I'd take a broken Babe Ruth bat before I'd take an NOS one from the same season that he'd never used. Part of the car's aura and attraction is that race history. It is/was a part of drag racing history...and for that it's WAAAY cooler and WAAAY more valuable than a "regular LS-6 ragtop" at least to me.
A dozen or so LS-6 ragtops were "born" back in '70...but only this one went on to become a legend at the hands of Ray Allen & Co.
Now only if it had only been preserved in "as raced" trim...then you'd see some real heads spinnin' as it comes across the auction block.
