1970 LS6 TRIPLE BLACK RAGTOP - Page 2

Around 1994, I was selling a 1970 L78 11k mile Black Nova. Richard called and offered a trade for a 200 mile 69 z28. I didn't take him seriously and about a week later 2 posters showed up in the mail,one of the Z,2nd of a Blue ls6 conv Chevelle. If I remember correctly it was Blue/Wht/Wht.
Bill S. maybe you knew of the Nova,it was from the Wadsworth/Medina area.

I have that LS6 poster hanging here in my office, my brother has the Z-28 poster in his office - (He's the Camaro guy, I'm the Chevelle guy).

The LS6 was an 850 mile car, Z28 was a 200 mile car, but both had complete body off restorations. Chevelle sat outside next to the Yenko Deuce mentioned in previous post. If I recall the Duece was real rough - body only maybe, sat there for several years??

I worked for Richard washing cars and running errands the summer of 86 when I was 16 years old. At that time he was not too heavy into the Corvettes and musclcars but was mainly doing Mercedes - AMG conversions. It was through Richard that my Dad (and I) met most of the "car" people like Bill S. that we still hang out with today.

That Blue and White LS6 convert that Richard had was the Tinker Toy drag car that I found in Montana after Richard had sold it. I had this car @ the MCACN show this past November so it's alive and well.

Alive and well is an understatement...It is absolutely stunning!

-----Well Chris,,,If its the same car, my thoughts about it not being real way, way back must have been wrong. I do remember the car being pretty damn nice.
-----I dont remember any 1970 375 Nova from my Medina days but thats not all that surprizing as I had moved south to Ft.Lauderdale by that time........Bill S

-----Jake,,,You have forgotten the Goodyear tire store Classic Motors. Ill never forget Richard calling me from out of town and telling me we had to move out of the Hinsdale store to the Goodyear store over the weekend and not to let Jack D know that we were moving. The two of them were not getting along at that time and I went where the paycheck took me. I was never very happy about the deception, but had house payments to make......Bill S

I did forget about the Goodyear store location - I think I was only there once - when Grand Sport #1 was in progress? Don't think he was at that location very long? That was 30+ years ago?!

I wondered if that was the same car. Could not have been too many no radio, blue, white bench, LS6 convertibles.

So you must have owned it for a while now? I think Richard was trying to sell it at one of the Vettefest shows when it was completed around 1990-1991?

Anyone know what happened to the Z-28 or the Deuce?

This pic is from a 1983 car show in Naperville, about 25 miles from Joliet. Could this be the car?

Well, you might think so as it looks like a twin to what I remember, BUT Bob Fuller was the original owner of that car and still owned it after the time i saw the other one.

Oddly I know that owner.

I lived 18 miles from Clinton Iowa and sold a car to Jerry Lampe, a restoration body man that worked for the Fuller brothers in Clinton. The car I sold to Jerry was a LS6 hardtop that I believe he later sold to the Fuller brothers.

That sale was a strange deal as I took a 1965 Griffith on trade that my partner had sold to Jerry about a year earlier.

It is still a small world.
