Christenholz Liquidating?

[Mr70]

I thought Gary E. would never ever sell it either.
Stunned when he did & for how much..
Dave brought it to SCR9 to do a lil..

[Charley Lillard]

Will the 70 Chevelle experts agree that this is probably the best LS6 convert out there ? As in low mile non restored, known forever ? This is the first one I had ever seen pics of.

[Mr70]

Has my vote.
Very little has been done to it since I first saw it in 1987.
..and I'll go a step further and say I would like to own it today.

Gutsiest statement I've heard all day!

I talked with Bob at SC Indy around 1985. I had seen the car in a magazine earlier and asked him about the statement they published regarding the "Special Order Bumper Pad". He just laughed and said he had a local sign painter apply that to the bumper because he liked it. (Hand painted; you can still see the brush strokes.) If I recall correctly he also had it done to a Red Coupe he owned.
It was a real treat to see it again at the Reunion. Yep, one of the Best, if not THE Best one around. (But then I might be a bit partial to the color and option combo. )

Charley, why don't YOU buy it and I'LL store it for you right next to a Black Coupe.

Dave's car is certainly very nice and well known, however, I think there are a number of special LS-6 converts around. My old car was also a triple black M-22, born with engine, trans, rear, earliest known, and perhaps the 1st LS-6 convert built (12C). Formerly part of Dana Mecum's personal collection and known ownership history to day one. It too made a few passes at SCR.

It's awesome that Dave is allowing the new owners of his cars to come from the public. Often all these great cars pass around to a handful of people. This will allow the average " not in the click " person to have a chance. Awesome.
Looking forward to seeing his cars again next week. Sign me up Charley.

You are correct on the red coupe it resides in Anchorage Alaska, the guy has had it since 1984.

Could somebody post a list of the cars or a link they've found? Is this the same fellow who bought Jim (NWYENKO)'s Blue '69 SYC Camaro?

yes but Jim's old Yenko is with another member in Nevada. There should be pics on this site of most of the cars...Xplantded posted some somewhere.
