How many triple black ls6 coupes were built?

[blackls6]

Does anybody know how many triple black ls-6 coupes were made?
I own a Atlanta built one with 59,000 original miles on it.
It a M-22 four speed with 12 bolt with 4:10, manual steering, optional three spoke wheel, tach and gauges, am- 8-track stereo, tinted glass, buckets seats with floor console, and cowl induction hood.
The original owner got to see the car being built because his aunt work at Atlanta factory! How cool would that have been. He told me one door panel had SS emblem, and the other side had Malibu.
Almost done with frame off restoration.

Don't know that anyone has a breakdown by color or accessories but there's probably more Black cars today than were actually produced!

Like I've said before, "Of the 4475 LS-6 cars produced in 1970, only about 6000 still exist."

How 'bout some pix of your restoration?

Regarding paper work!!! I have the original car invoice, delivery service and adjustment check sheet, original payment reciept, second owners title, car shipper invoice, protect-o-plate, creditials folder, consumer information brochure, and two build sheet which one has all major information typed in boxes 1-8 and the other one was found on passenger door panel. The original owner still has the window sticker and I stay in contact with him. So very well documented!!!!!!!!!!!

I was looking at Bruce Larson's 1968 Camaro F/C at the first York reunion and noticed that he has a original LS-6 motor with vin# stamped on block in his funny car. He said he got it from Sutcliff Chevrolet when he was working for them!!!
Any LS-6 Chevelle's from Sutcliff out there missing there motor????

Hi Mike,
My friends Ls-6 has the same options, I think his was built at Baltimore!

There are no breakdowns on production numbers on color combinations that I am aware of but there is a generic listing of how many RPO coded items where built. However, it is very vague and would really not tell much other than how rare a certain option is. Tripple black is actually quite common especially on LS-6's. I think a combination of purchases for the purpose of drag racing (origls6) and moonshiners (Benchmark LS-6) was the reason for so many black cars.

I am currently finishing up on a Shadow Grey LS-6 from MA. Welcome to the site.

As Dennis stated, we would love to see photos of your restoration progress and information for entry into the LS6 Registry.

[blackls6]

Ludlow,Ma The guy I bought mine from has a Kansas built LS-6 and he just sold a Baltimore car last year that was totaled! My friend has a Black LS-6 also, he just found his old car about ten years ago at a swap meet, he was the second owner!. I know where there is a silver LS-6,but it not for sale. So there five that are located in the Springfield,MA area.
