Re: 70 LS6
Wow, that is a high price! I'm sure the restoration is a top notch job, but is there really anything that special about the car? They made a lot of LS6 cars so it's not really rare. As for a documented LS6 being more valuable than a documented COPO, I would disagree with that. If you have the P-O-P or window sticker for a COPO, you have definite proof of what it is. Buildsheets are nice, but they sometimes got put in the wrong car so that's not 100% conclusive. COPO's are a lot less produced and the sleeper factor may also contribute to the increased value.

Re: 70 LS6
"As far as LS6 value..It has always been my personal opinion that a documented, diamond certified LS6 should bring MORE money than a similar COPO Camaro."
LS6 more valuable than a COPO?  N.F.W. (IMO) A COPO can never be thoroughly verified as 100% legitimate??? I think you're gonna find alot of people disagree with both those revelations. I'd take a non-buildsheet COPO camaro over an LS6 with 3 of em... and I don't think I'm alone.

Re: 70 LS6
i didn't think ls6's were bringing that kinda money. i've seen several advertised with all docs. etc. going for around 50k. its a very nice car, but imo i don't think because of a certain color or the number of docs. a car may have outta raise the price, although needs correct docs. but the number thereof has no bearing.

Re: 70 LS6
Exactly, seems as though we have strayed away from the original questions about this Astro Blue LS6 at the start of this thread and what these cars go for. Regardless if you prefer COPO's or the LS6, recent trends would indicate this dealer is packing about $30-50 grand over what this car is worth. I would say $85,000 to $100,000 would be a decent range.

Re: 70 LS6
We've moved from the quality and veracity discussion of the blue LS6 to "musclecars as an investment." I grew up wanting a Chevelle, and that's why I own an LS6 now. Everybody pretty much ends up trying to buy the car that "hits them" in a certain way. At least that's what the HOBBYISTS do....speculators will buy whatever the consensus says is the "fastest rising value" car available. I like the advise that I heard quite a bit when I got into buying musclecars: "Buy what you like; if it goes up in value you will enjoy it and it will continue to be more valuable. If it doesn't go up in value, you will still be proud of it and enjoy it."

Yup, if you don't enjoy your car, why have it! [/ QUOTE ] That seems like a simple and logical question, Jeff, but I feel pretty strongly that many folks in the "hobby" are not in fact in the hobby, but looking for a refuge from their poor performing stock portfolios. To them, making a quick buck is what this hobby is all about.

Re: 70 LS6
[ QUOTE ]
Maybe this one has been discussed before, but does anyone have any info about this car, or this dealer? Seems a bit high priced for a hardtop, or is this what the LS6 cars are bringing nowadays? http://www.desertautosport.com/main....l&CarID=97 [/ QUOTE ] As someone may have mentioned earlier this car was also recently listed on ebay. I didn't follow it to the close but with about 4 hrs. remaining the high bid was $77,000 and the reserve had not been met.
