1970 LS6 Chevelle

704ever, are you also saying that at the Mecum Indy there is also a Silver LS6 and it's not a known or something with this car? Since you just mentioned the black one? Is the black one just a better, more correctly restored car?

I had read the description on the Silver car and to me it's very vague and poorly represented. To me, the restoration leaves a lot to be desired and there is a reason the estimated value is quite a bit lower than the Black car I mentioned. The true value of these LS6 cars remains much higher when the original drive lines are present, factory correct restorations are evident and when documentation is presented so it can be verified as original. The Silver car shows none of these qualities in its' representation. It's well known in the hobby that there are a lot fake LS6's cars around and that is why it's so important to have someone like Chris or Rick do an inspection before anyone drops a 150K on one of these cars. I went to one Mecum auction down here in Kissimmee a few years ago, there were 12 or 13 LS6 cars running across the block and I believe only 2 of them were real from what I could see. It's just buyers " REALLY BEWARE " with these cars. JMO on the subject.

It amazes me that there aren't people going to jail for fraud.

Thanks 704. I wasn't aware there were THAT many not fully documented cars. I honestly thought, by looking at recent auctions, I didn't think the "normal or average" LS6 were that much honestly. There are a few in town where I live now. Just wondering IF there real cars and how does one tell? I like these cars around the 80's range. At 125+ I would rather have a 69 COPO myself.

Not knocking or anything, just learning as I didn't know a ton about LS6's, just the basics. I would also only look at nice drivers myself as I would be using one IF I ever did purchase.

Thanks, John
