27? Mile LS6

daleone3 · #1 10-12-2021, 02:07 PM

Does anyone know what happened to that low mileage Chevelle that was around a few years ago? It popped up with and changed hands several times in a short time and then seemed to go away. More curiosity, maybe someone here owns it or knows what happened to it. Don't recall the exact mileage but it was under 50 miles for sure.

If this is the car, it's in The Brothers Collection

----I drove this LS6 from 12 up to 16 miles back in around 1977! It was in Louiseville at the time but I believe it originally came out of either South Carolina or Georgia. Later it spent quite a while in Rhode Island....Bill S

Thats the one, looks like it has accrued about seven miles in all these years since it sold. I recall numbers north of $300k and then it seemed to trade hands a couple times for less each time. what do you think the car is worth today? I love the imperfect stripes and all those little things that it came from the factory with, pretty cool, thanks for sharing the video.

----When bought from the original owner the smog was gone! Thats the only thing that was ever done to it to my knowledge. That and putting a complete smog set-up back on....Bill S

Bill, must have been a great car to own. I recall it being in Massachusetts at one point, maybe Milford MA but never saw it. I suspect it won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

That's cool seeing the imperfections in the factory paint. Benchmark car for sure.

Thanks for the video link. Hadn't seen that one before.

It was at a Russo & Steele auction here in AZ many years ago, and I saw it then. If it is indeed in the Brothers collection, it's undoubtedly there for the long haul.
