SPECIAL ORDER COLOR 70 CHEVELLE QUESTIONS

[Postsedan]

Rich,

Can you confirm if your friends CG Chevelle was built in June of 1970. Dave`s former LS6 was as well. Would be interesting to see how close the vins were? Both car were built in Atlanta, we could unravel a little of the paint code mysteries by comparing notes.

Dan - what docs did that CG LS6 have? I don't recall.

[Mr70]

The LS-6 had a Pa. loan installment contract dated Sept. 1970 & 3 buildsheets found in drivers door panel,behind backseat & under package shelf originally.

Rich's friends car was assembled the 4th week of June,1970,in Atlanta.The LS-6 was the 5th week in Atlanta.

Sam,

Here is your answer from, Dave Gilsmer.

My old car had three build sheets; one from on top of the tank, one from under the back seat and one discovered by our friend Kevin while working for the Hot Rod Haus on the inside of the drivers door panel being an Atlanta car. The car also had the original purchase invoice from the dealer. I sure miss the car.

Dave.

The CG LS6 is a 6E build, which would be either 6/29/70 or 6/30/70, and has multiple build sheets. The trim tag for the car which started this thread is a 6D.

Dan, thanks for the info on the Oshawa trim tags. I've never seen or even looked at an Oshawa built car since they produced no LS6 equipped Chevelles.

The Bunn LS6 was 06E Atlanta built with tag # -60009 and according to good intel provided by Rick (Mr70) was actually completed the 1st week of July. Wonder how close the CG LS6 and the Bunn car were to each other on the assembly line? Looks like the 06D CG SS at the start of this thread is an -58541.

That's mighty close for these two 06E built LS6s (-59769 vs. -60009)! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img] Being that close, it is possible the CG LS6 left the assembly line the 1st week of July (as did the Bunn LS6). NICB would confirm.

I generally am not a fan of green on musclecars but i love that color! Pontiac called it Key Lime and it is the only green I'd ever consider for a car of that vintage. Keep it Citris Green!
