Interesting discovery on the infamous Gobi Beige 70 LS6 conv that is now Astro Blue. It's not a real one, cause with a vin like 136670B111501 it's an October 69 built 70 Chevele conv from Baltimore. Now we all know they didn't build any LS6 cars that early don't we! Sold in 2003 for $49,680 with NO docs. How much did it sell for since it was painted Astro Blue?

I was just going to make a comment. $50K for a "numbers matching" LS6 Convertible? Blue must have done that Chevelle justice.

Man there is soooo much negativity in the hobby now that these cars are bringing big bucks - greed and money bring all the BS to the surface. Man between the fakes, coverups, deception, lies ,etc. it's sad that the hobby is coming to this. Its great that you guys have the knowledge to keep these guys somewhat in check...

i understand what you are saying, i have recently come into the market looking to purchase a nice original muscle car. there are many crooks out there, but i have found so many nice, honest folks also in my search for the right car, i'am in the market for rare z cars or copo's. if you are going to spend that kind of many on a classic car you should do your homework to keep from getting burned, if you don't have any knowledge then hire a professional to check car for you, whats $400.00-$1000.00 to protect your investment? i'm buying for enjoyment and investment purpose. i can recall as a little boy watching a superbird go down the street and thinking i'm going to have one of those someday.

Remember, the crossram setup was an over the counter option so it would never be considered original equipment. Did the yellow JL8 crossram car have any documentation with it? And I mean real documentation, not fake stuff like the p-o-p that was with the 68 L89 car.

i understand the crossram was not factory installed, dealer option only. i thought i recall them saying that it was dealer installed? i guess they had proof of that? i think the car had "Q" code axle? and even if it didn't technology today could make it a Q coded axle if they wanted to go to that extreme. also, isn't an aftermarket crossram produced for the z? i don't really know, thats why i joined to find out from experts. hey, by the way your jl8 for sale?
