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

[sixtiesmuscle]

O.K., Let's all hug now, and, respect that we ALL have our areas of expertise. No matter what this car NEEDS, it is a really neat & rare piece. It's certainly one that I would be proud to own. Peace!!

I AGREE! LETS MOVE ON! The car in muscle car review is awesome! I would push my 70 LS5 Chevelle into Lake Michigan for that one! I have personally met both reduce and Mr70. They are BOTH very knowledgeable car guys. Both went out of their way to help me with inspecting or questions about my Chevelle with no gain other than helping another car guy.
When you get this many knowledgeable people in one place where you state your own opinions you are bound to sooner or later have a disagreement.

Redeuce...Thanks for the clarification. The no smog part or heat shields doesn't bother me. I know what it takes to replace it. I would prefer a Good set of Headers anyway. Even a Crummy set come to think of it. Debated doing that to a ZL1 but I might get hanged.

You'd get a big "atta boy" from me Charley. We all know the ZL1 heads couldn't breath with those stock manifolds. Go for it!!

Well, we sure made a long thread here, and as always, information was exchanged that was maybe not known by everyone. Seriously, I found out today that he is selling the car. Call or email me and I'll pass his phone number along. If you can strike a deal, great. OK Now that's over, are you kicking me out or can I visit once in the while?

You can stay but you have to buy my 1980 Motion Camaro . [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I'll tell you what-go to www.nofearmotorsports.com and look at my '56. I wouldn't mind doing some trading for either a good Z or something interesting. Any trade would have to be an even or me getting money back. I don't have any money. On Saturdays and Sundays I take my wife to stranger's weddings for the free dinners.

I don't think this car is a mystery car anymore!!Now I see how some of you guys can afford all the nice cars,going to strangers weddings to eat! I am looking in the paper now for this weekends weddings.Maybe I can save a buck or 2 and get my car finished.Of course its not a SUPER CAR,just a plain ole SS so I shouldn't have to save much to finish it.Some of you other guys post some money saving secrets like reduece,it might help some others out [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Hey Charley, I heard somewhere that GM didn't even bother trying to design new exhaust manifolds for the ZL1 as no one could possibly ever consider running one that way.

I think it was in a Kum-by-ya verse lead by SixtiesMuscle [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

I just lost my desire to keep the smog set up and stock manifolds when a Hugger Orange 1969 Camaro with ZL1 emblems on the fenders and a Blue small block stoker Nova humiliated me during a stop light confrontation just recently.

I did however take out my frustration on a late Model 5.0 Mustang and 396 Chevelle on the way back home.

I also have considered when my LS6 is finally framed off (when ever I can find the $, and Rick Nelson can find the time...) doing a "day two" type retoration (headers, maybe a set of Cragers, an actual oil pressure gauge, etc). I really wonder why we don't see more cars done this way. It allows you to enjoy your car, get better performance, and still keep the value, since you hang onto the original dated parts. I get kinda tired of going to car shows and seeing people argue over what is technically correct anyway.
