1970 Ls6 Convertible

[Belair62]

It was in response to Gregs point about the young wealthy people buying esses...I don't buy my cars as an investment...it just turned out that they are looking more and more like a good one...I usually buy high and sell low ! The thread started with you posting a look and see on an LS 6 convert.Then it went into a value/vs. doc's and how a COPO is this or that and shouldn't be as valuable as they are and that they trade and get inflated by a few people and no one buys them but a few people and yadda yadda....then we went into investments...what was the point really ? I would imagine you of all people should be kind of glad that the prices are where they are...

Belair, Ok then,i will make it short..I have a problem with cars that have "joes a good guy", "Tim judged it",and "BOB put gas in it in 1977" as "documenting" a car.Its done more on this site than ANYWHERE else.Probably because theres not alot of documentation available on these cars like buildsheets etc..The "supercars" are usually mentioned because thats what this site is about more than any other car .I dont specifically have ANY problem with copos [and im currently in the market for one],other than i wouldnt own one that wasnt canada documented[my personal preference]unless it was priced as a well done clone[again my personal preference]. ...After watching the Ebay ls6 gain momentum in acceptability because of the ebay bidding list and one persons opinion,i brought up the fact that now that there were members here bidding on it,everyone jumped on the "its an original car" bandwagon,when for the last year it was for sale not nary a word was said.I guess now that the car went elsewhere we can talk about how worthless the ls6s are again.....Can you imagine how many more 435 67 corvettes would be made"legitimate" if the NCRS started "documenting" cars based on a judges opinion and a Zora Duntov signed glove box??]?????? Simply put,you cant campaign a car as 100% legit UNLESS you have factory legitimate paperwork or in the case of the ZL1s,the vin #,and that will always be the universal litmus test...On another note ..On dreamcar garage, in between the "yenko chevelles and camaros are 150k and novas 300k",didnt i hear an "although not as desirable as an Ls6 convertible" in that sentence correct me if i am wrong

didn't pay a "specualted" price.

[/ QUOTE ]Are you going to sell it cheap !!! since you didn't pay up for it...this is interesting news that it's for sale ! Yountto..I wouldn't buy one that was presented as that either. But the car you will accept is going to cost a lot of money.Even one of those well restored clones may have some overpriced rare parts on them that the owner may want to recoup..keep looking. Kind of a strange thread and to tell you the truth I had a feeling the pilot car would be for sale...I hope you find one of those young whipper snappers that drive esses to pay up for it Greg. !! I never heard an Escalade called an ess...I like those...with 22's on em !
