2 FORSALE: 1970 Chevelle LS6 "pilot car" — Virginia 02/24/2004 — Details
I'm listing my green 1970 LS6 chevelle "pilot car" for sale. It is a matching numbered (engine and all accessories (carb, wp, manifolds, dist, etc.), trans, rear), fully documented car. The car has 2 buildsheets (both showing the "pilot status"), a POP, original owner info.& zone rep info (can call both and discuss), and a letter from Jim Mattison attesting to the "pilot status." The car is very highly optioned, was cosmetically restored in 1995. Car has CI, gauges, buckets, tilt, cushion grip,p/s,rear defroster,am/fm stero, posi,etc. Picures avaiable upon request. If you are a tire kicker don't waste my time..If you want info. call me...not some "guru," that hasn't seen the car...Phone is 800-669-5834 or 804-314-7732 or 804-932-8547..This is an investment that you can drive and enjoy, so no BS'ers..If you want a "run of the mill" LS6 look elsewhere...This is the only "pilot car" LS6 found to date and it IS the earliest (good possibity the FIRST production LS6)car to date as well..

No offense, as I thought we were friends (at least through the phone/internet), but why post the ad for sale?? What difference does it make?? We are discussing opinions here, and mine and yours differ..that is all..why try to read into something?? The 2 have nothing to do with each other...

I only used your car as an example, because it validated my point " cars with historical significance are at a premium". Nothing more should be read into it. No problem here Greg...

I normally don't step into these threads because I don't know any of you and don't want to step on anyones toes.

But, this thread seems to be discussing the kind of problem lots of people would like to have... which one and how much, how many, documented, etc...

I for one would love to have a COPO, Yenko, LS6 Conv, L89 Conv, Motion, etc... and I believe that they are worth a great deal of money. Can I justify that kind of money to my wife and family? Probably not. (If someone wants to sell one that needs a good "no resale" home at a below market price please e-mail me )

Do some people use them as investments? Yes. Do most people that own them enjoy them? Yes.

The bottom line is a car, or anything else for that matter, is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Those with Champaign wishes and Caviar dreams will be able to own some of the greatest cars ever made is America, while those of us with a Miller and Steak will watch from behind the wheels of our SS Chevelles, Camaros, Novas, etc...(also great American made classics).

Hope that I didn't ruffle too many feathers. This hobby should NEVER be about the "haves" versus the "have nots". In the end, we're all car guys that can hopefully appreciate each others rides without too much envy.
