"S97 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 Convertible 2 build sheets, dual snorkel, M-22, rotisserie restoration, diamond certified $350,000 sold"

[Charley Lillard]

I don't know how nice the LS6 was now but it was at Russo@Steele Monterey a few yars ago and it had a very poor resto back then. Lots of poor floor patch work back then. A real car that basically needed another resto.

Was that the Fathom blue,no cowl no gauges car that Volo sold in the early 90s?? Was in Florida for a long while.

I beleive the car had just received another restoration, possesed its original drivetrain and had good documentation. It had just been "Diamond Certified" but I'm not aware of its score. The lack of options is whats thought to have hampered the bids. A "buyers auction" it must be..says Yoda!

Someone though highly of it. I believe I saw Reggie wiping it down before it went thru...

Was in Lukason collection in Florida. Hard to beat a fathom blue car w paperwork.

..and the original engine.

It sound like Mike was happy

There were two different Fathom Blue LS-6 4 spd Convertibles for sale at Mecum/Rockford this past weekend.

Reggie Jackson brought his CLONE through on Friday evening.
I didn't see the final gavel on it.

Then John O. brought the Original Wisconsin HULT CHEVROLET/Volo/Hemmings-Lukason in Fla./and just restored this past winter by Gary,then Diamond certified,that sold for 350K on Saturday afternoon.
I thought it was one of the most honest,enjoyable and easily accessible & professional auctions that Dana has ever hosted.
