Supercars...you're right on the necessary quality to bring the top dollar on the 'vettes and the COPO's. But I don't understand some of the other prices. The T/A Challenger that went for $63,000 was only average. I guess it was the color. The AAR Cuda was a nice car, belonged to the same guy that had the '65 L-78 'vette, but how do you figure $60,000? And there's absolutely no answer for the '56 T-Bird.

P.S. Guess I've lost negotiating power on the L-89. Somehow though, your price still doesn't sound any better.

If someone is willing to pay that for a 1970 Chevelle LS-6 Convertible,think of what a 1970 Chevelle L-78/L-89 Al. head documented would sell for.
I'm holding onto this one......at least until the next B/J Az.auction.

While some of the price are certainly up there, they still are off their prices from 10+ years ago. I seem to recall ZL-1's and LS-6 convertibles in the $200K+ range. Adjusted for 10+ years of inflation, the late 80's were really crazy.

Mr70...care to guess as to what that would be worth ?

I am surprised the 1970 chevelle L-78 conv only went to 63k when most other cars seem to draw a premium. Was that a original drivetrain and documented car? Maybe it would have been better to go off after the LS6 brought 160k.

I still dont think it will bring the kind of money a LS-6 will. Its still a 375 HP car, even though it has the alum. heads and is rarer. Kind of like the 69 L-89 Chevelles and the COPO cars. Cubic inches equals cubic dollars.

Was the 70 Chevelle L78 conv actually an L89 car? I never heard them mention that while watching on tv. I'd be holding out for more money too, especially seeing what the LS6 brought.
