The collective discipline of the current and former owners to keep the miles as low as possible is commendable. It also makes it more valuable as mentioned the woods are full of em. To each his own, we are just caretakers of them really </div></div>

There's an editorial in the new Hemmings Muscle Machines about the guys who trash other people's cars under the auspices of being &quot;all-knowing&quot; as to how a car should be. (I believe the Internet has made this problem worse.) So yes, let's leave the few rarities such as this car alone so that there will continue to be a reference point for future restorers and enthusiasts.

That assessment is pretty much dead-on, Bill [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

----Thanks for the back-up, Bill. I was the second owner of that LS6 and have always thought that Rick (the original owner) ordered it just about right for late night &quot;excursions&quot;. It was a bad boy in its day, and definetly not stock (only stock looking). Back then I took it as far as I needed to to sell it as I had a partner (my boss!) that wanted to sell and I didnt have the moola to buy him out. Would have liked to keep it. Subsequent owners have had thier time with it and thakfully have stepped up to the plate and restored it nicely. I really didnt do the car any favors back then, but liked it immensly.......Bill S

Wow, lots of thoughts on this car! Personally, I'm in the &quot;Don't drive it&quot; category. After seeing this car in person, I believe it's evolved beyond a car.. it's more of a historical relic that could never be &quot;un-driven.&quot; As many pointed out, there are thousands of other LS6 cars to drive. But it does kinda suck for this one to be the car who had to watch life from the sidelines. Super cool, none the less. I'm just glad I had the chance to spend some time with it!
