Default Re: Why would Chevrolet restrict the LS-6?

Not regular RPO colors for LS-6 but i would think you could get around that with special paint order. Maybe those colors were only available at plants that made fullsize and chevelles. were LS-6 CHEVELLES built at all the plants chevelles were built?

perhaps they used cheap paint and the LS6 went too fast and caused it to prematurely peel off the car....

Perhaps [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] Or maybe they didn't want their highest-horsepower rocket ship looking like a fridge on display at Sears, in basically the same colors. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]

With two exceptions, Oshawa did not build any solid lifter cars (LS6) and convertibles were only built at the Baltimore, Van Nuys and Leeds plants.
