Default Re: "Mystery" Chevelle LS-6 in NEW Muscle Car Review???

You are correct citing the popularity of the day 2. And kudos to all for recognizing the importance of these cars in the hobby. Don't forget that many restos that were done in the late 80's and early 90's were limited in availability of nos and oem parts. There was no Ebay and most catalogues were limited. A perfect example-Mopars have realized the biggest jump in value over the last five years- 12,000 B Bodies are now 20,000 and E Bodies are through the roof.
The primary reason for this is the 3 inch thick Year One catalogue, Legendary Interiors, and Just Dashes. Also, the typical buying public is now looking for a turn key car in the 15,000 to 20,000 bracket. Unfortunately, that rules out a concourse correct car in most cases. As an interesting side note, after examining the receipts, we discovered the Orange LS6 in the mid 70's had a hang on AC unit put on by the owner. We almost hung one back on just because that was how the original owner had the car set up.
