Low mileage LS-6

[SS427]

Great story Bill, I should have known you were part of it's history. Any other stories or news you care to share.................. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Steve,
All things considered, I would not take any of the comments as negative but just information to make people aware of it. Some of them are items I was not aware of and they do not detract from the value of the car in my opinion. There are very few cars out there especially ex-drag cars that do not have some type of battle scars hidden somewhere. Enjoy the car for what it is, an excellent example of a low mileage LS6.

Thanks Rick..I have and will continue to enjoy it...Maybe some day I will drive it!!!!...Even, (maybe) 1 mile instead of just moving it around the warehouse......Any past owners care to share how it drives???????

------When relating old stories about old cars its often good to do a little digging even if you think your memory is perfect.Ive been informed that due to some posts in reference to this beautiful LS6(mine included)a deal for this car fell thru.At the time the accident happened,as you can imagine)I was rather distraught.I looked once at the car and never did see it damaged again.While talking to another Classic Motors ex-employee I have found that the damage was less extensive than I had(for years)felt it was.I truly wish I had done my homework prior to my post as a sale might not have been sidetracked.Steve,I apologize to both you and the Registry for jumping the gun and overstating the actual damage..........Bill S

Bill,
Thank you for admitting that you are human. We ALL make mistakes! No hard feelings here. That was over 25 years ago..... I can barely remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday. Most people would not have the integrity or the BALLS to admit thier mistakes. THANK YOU!!!!!!The car is a great original piece of low milage history.Your input and past ownership,history,and stories have put in some missing pieces.If you are ever in California, you would be most welcome to "play cars" in our garage.Steve M.

Steve,
I have shopped at your yard on Old Oakland Road before. I used to live in Milpitas. Anyhow, I own a low milage LS6 and I am currently restoring it. Would you mind if I took a few pictures of the "original" engine compartment. Rick can verify who I am with regards to my car. I have been following this thread and the one on TC's web site. I think you made mention that the car is at your work site. Is this not the car that was for sale at Kassabian Motors in Dublin, CA? I am sure I saw it there a couple years ago.

GB,
This is the car that was on display at Kassabian's. Brad is a good friend and I used to float some of my cars to him to help bring people into his showroom. (They get some insane prices for thier cars there!)The car is at my warehouse in Hayward..Call me and we will work out a time. I still don't understand why most people don't want to let others photograph or have copies of original docs. of thier cars? (Anyone care to explain?)....Steve

Steve,
I bought my green '70 Cuda 440 with a hemi 4 speed, and dana 60, from Kassabian Motors three years back. It is #'s matching, and is a very nice driver in a #2 condition. Brad was a real nice guy. I think he is the son of the owner, and he does the paper work after the deal. I used to stop by there now and then just to look around. Chuck and John were always cool to talk cars with! Kind of like going to an adults toy store if you know what I mean. I had a '72 Challenger there for sale also. I remember a few years back they were selling muscle cars like hot cakes! I think a lot of the dot com'ers / baby boomers made a few bucks and spent it on cars! This perhaps inflated pricing in the market. Natual case of supply and demand. No problems with that, but now I think inventory turn over is slow. The economy hurts sales... I have not been by there in a couple of years.

Thanks for leeting me get some pics of the engine compartment! I have a post in TC in the restoration Forum if you would like to view my progress of my LS6. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/Forum30/HTML/000582.html

Having a true low mile survivor would be VERY helpful in getting as much information so I can get mine as close to factory correct as possible.

By the way you have a nice business in Milpitas. Another fun place to shop!
