70 LS6

[StealthBird]

Maybe this one has been discussed before, but does anyone have any info about this car, or this dealer? Seems a bit high priced for a hardtop, or is this what the LS6 cars are bringing nowadays?

You could've bought it at Vettefest November 22nd for 85K.I believe Flying A restored it.
I like that color.

I would question the claim of being the highest scoring car, as I thought the Shadow Grey car Rick Nelson did scored higher. Possibly this car was then re-scored. I noticed they don't show the documents (buildsheet, POP, etc.) I would think it is high for a coupe, but then again in this market who knows...IMO I think it would be closer to $110k or so, but that is my opinion.

Clearly a very nice looking LS6. If I am correct, this car was for sale in Hemmings a few years back for $40,000. While prices have certainly appreciated, the price seems way out of line, in my opinion.

COULD HAVE BOUGHT AN LS6 AT BJ LAST WEEK 31K ON IT ORIGINAL PAINT THAT WOULD KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF! WITH ALL THE PAPERWORK FROM NEW! TRUE TIME CAPSULE SURVIVOR $ 75,000

If this is the Flying A restoration I have seen this car apart as well as finished. It would likely not be a car listed 2 years ago in any ad as the car has been finished for at least a year and under restoration for approx. 2 years prior by my recollection. Again this may not be the Flying A car but looks like it could be with NE paperwork. Car has serious money tied up in it with a super job done by Flying A but knowing what I know about this car it is not worth the money being asked IMHO (doesn't mean they won't get it). I'd be curious to know how it ended up in AZ as the owner during the restoration was from Omaha area.

It's a long story and is owned by the same gentleman who bought the benchmark LS-6. He is pretty quiet about his toys. Although a beautiful car, I was a little surprised to see how high it scored as I had inspected the car at VF and found several errors. Still all in all, a very expertly restored car.

As far as LS6 value..It has always been my personal opinion that a documented, diamond certified LS6 should bring MORE money than a similar COPO Camaro. The reason I believe this has to do with documents and the fact that a buildsheet on a LS6 (again a real buildsheet), pretty much guarantees you are buying the "real deal" all things being equal. I think even with the lower production numbers on COPO's they can't be 100% documented (as a general rule)since just about all are Norwood cars (hardly no broadcast sheets)and therefore shouldn't bring the prices they are.

If we use COPO Camaros as a guide, a correct LS6 that has been Diamond Certified, should be a 125k+ car, as more than likely it is 100% verifable as a LS6. IMO a documented (buildsheet) matching numbered LS6, irregardless of color or options is and should be worth more than a COPO at all levels. Therefore a nice driver (again matching numbered major components and documented through a buildsheet) is at LEAST a 55-60k car. Just my opinions and views..

The market sure doesn't think they are more valuable than a COPO and they probably never were as valuable...anyone have a historical perspective ? Thru the years what has been more valuable ???....
