Phil Silva's Convertible Collection at auction

[70 Forest Green Zee]

Looks to me like the grill was painted argent silver back then when it was on the cover of this magazine. It has since been painted black in the pics posted at the auction site.

We were honored to be able to host Phil and his incredible black on black Hemi Cuda convertible at MCACN 2010. Having the lineup of four 1970 Hemi Cuda Convertibles was just mind blowing, and Phils black beauty was indeed one of the stars of the show.

Best of luck, Phil; somebody is going to get an amazing and historically interesting automobile! Oh...and the others he is offering aint too shabby either! lol

Yes...The grill was black when I got it but someone who shall remain nameless convinced me it should be silver....I cringe ever time I see that cover. At that time it was the first L78 Camaro convert Tom Shaw had ever seen.

I sold the car to Warren. Warren was 4th owner.I think I paid 15K for the car including a finders fee..I think the steel XT wheels are coded on the build sheet.

It is the orig engine and trans with the orig engine pad stamping. Real paperwork etc. That was my favorite go to car for years when my Wife and I wanted to go to car shows etc. It just drove great. </div></div>
Charley is that the same one that sold out at Monterey Russo Steele in @2004 I know you were there as I was that night?

[Charley Lillard]

Yep...And I'm gonna go this time as well.

Because the article stated that it originally came with red stripes but the guy to restored it used white stripes.

When I bought it the white stripes were on it but the second owner told me when he painted it he took the red stripes off. I found NOS red door stripes at Portland swap meet years ago and I believe they will be included with the car. I would put the red stripes back on.
