1970 Ls6 Convertible

[Steve Shauger]

Price has always been about supply and demand. A premium is put on a car that has historical significance, much like your "pilot car" you are selling. I am sure you feel it is worth more do to its status. I feel the same for copo's, and low/desirable production cars. I feel you are speculating on the intent of the supercar owners which is uncalled for. At least for me this is still a hobbie, which has introduced me to some great individuals.

Is the pilot car for sale ???

Now its all starting to make sense...

Man you guys really "read" into things...guess that is a way to discredit my opinion or viewpoint since I differ from some of you...Guess since I hang out at Langley or Peary some you guys will next have me knowing where Hoffa is and who shot Kennedy (not Oswald btw...lol) Whether the "pilot car" is for sale or not has nothing to do with this discussion. I had listed it recently on another site as I'm buying a few more homes (my idea of better investments...go Donald..lol) and wanted some additional cash. Whether I sell it or not isn't procluding me from buying more property to use as investments.. I actually offered the car earlier to someone here for what amounted to the price of a SS396 L34 car as I thought they would appreciate the car, were not a specualtor, and we are good friends.

I bought the car back origianlly in 2001, and didn't pay a "specualted" price. When I bought it back it wasn't for any other reason than I liked it..It wasn't about the money, and I would have paid substantially more money becasue I believe in the car and know it well..The point is I'm just like everyone else..I'm not going to "give it away" and I expect "fair market" value.. However I'm not specualting that this car will always be worth the current prices, nor do I care..It isn't an investment to me..whether short term or long term..The reality though is I bought a car based on my personal likes, BUT since others do perceive these things to be great investments I bought one that is a "no excuses" car..to maximize that asspect of this hobby..I have commerical and residental real estate for investments, along with stocks, bonds, etc.

I personally think it is funny that some of you guys get so worked up over this thread..If it wasn't in the back of your mind (the investment asspect or how overly inflated some cars are), you wouldn't be trying to defend these cars the way you are..You would just realize it is my opinion...

Whether the Yenko that I posted about earlier sells for good money or not is a matter of opinion at this point..My personal opinion is it sold for that much money, probably because there was a naive buyer and less than full disclosure. Charley if you feel it is still work 150k..then buy it and put it up here for others to see..the same goes for anyone else...I'm a Marine and I'm not into a lot of "talk," let's see some action..If you guys feel that these cars are going up all the time..then someone call Mark H. and pay him 325k for the Yenko chevelle..Better yet Mark list the car for 275K at B/J next year or put it in another auction if it sells 9bonafide sale to someone other than ######., ######, or one of the gang..)then I'll admit my opinion was incorrect..I appreciate you guys abililty to pay these amounts and more power to you if you sell them..Just don't get steamed up because I don't have the same opinion on these cars...

BTW.."essee's are Escalades...SUV's are very popular at least here in the "dirty south.."lol

...."Whether the Yenko that I posted about earlier sells for good money or not is a matter of opinion at this point..My personal opinion is it sold for that much money, probably because there was a naive buyer and less than full disclosure. Charley if you feel it is still work 150k..then buy it and put it up here for others to see"... Your arguement was that only the select few around this site are paying these artificial prices. That was a example of one that sold for big money outside of this site. The ZL1 in Scottsdale sold to a Dealer for 400K and that also was outside of this site. I'm told that Yountto has sold his LS6 Convert. He has chosen not to answer the question but if he did I wonder if it went to someone outside of this site and if it also went for a artificially inflated price.

Charley, I will tell you this much..In the past 8 months id taken 2 deposit checks from well known members on this site that were "NSF" when i called the banks they were written on,on the ls6 convertible....Quite frankly,they did me a huge favor...you talk of the ZL1 for 400k,thats because they are all documented by vin......Documented[keyword] factory 427 camaros will always do well in or out of the "circle"...they sell themselves

Charley that was my point as well...The ZL1's have documented VIN's and while I think 400k is steep for one (again that is my opinion)if the buyer needs to sell and it brings 400,001k, more power to him.

As far as LS6 converts...it was always my understanding that this board neither "officially" recognized the LS6 coupe or convert as a "supercar..." (regardless of what some of us thought..) Have those cars now been included??

GREG, Why ALL the Mark H COMMENTS???? I DO NOT BUY and SELL these cars!!! It took ALOT of hard work to get the YENKO CHEVELLE and it is NOT for SALE--Even for a big Profit-that is Not why I bought the car.. My Collection of cars means ALOT to me and YES I have even Raced the ZL-1 and my MOTION..

Mark the comments weren't meant in any disrespect to you..You however have to be aware that your purchase of that car set the "bar" for those cars..quite abit more than anything seen before..Therefore it is going to be used in discussion.I hope that if you decide to sell that the car brings the money you paid for it..It seems to be a nice car from what I've heard..just more than what most are acustomed to seeing being paid, especially for what amounts to a COPO with stripes (again my opinion..)..Again hope no hard feelings, as any referenced post was made for reference only
