Re: '71 LS6 Corvette on Ebay
-------No, Rick,,,All 188 of them had aluminum heads. There were a few automatics as well as M21s and M22s. As well, there were a few ZR2s which had even more similarities to an L88. If you wanted the baddest 71 Corvette you could get, you ordered LS6 and ZR2 along with a few other HD options. I think you had to order them both, but Warren would know for sure!!! The silver LS6 I owned while I lived in Chicago had 355s and was good for 160mph easily. What a top end machine that was.........Bill S

Re: '71 LS6 Corvette on Ebay
Bill, that car may be here in Austin now. It is an original car (not restored). If it's the same one, it was owned by Richard Tisdale of the 50 fastest collection fame. Now owned by Pat Sullivan.

Re: '71 LS6 Corvette on Ebay
------Tim,,,The last I heard Warren knew that my old car was in California for sale by "Corvette Lady" I think??? It was an M21, Nevada silver/black vinyl T-top with 3:55s as stated. A wonderful time capsule when I had it as virtually nothing had been changed except for smog removal. Long time owner No. 2 before me (B. Hildebrandt) brought the car out of Atlanta area to Chicago. Owner after me replaced smog and put correct original tires on. Car at that time had, I think, low 30s mileage. I even know who ordered the car new but couldnt afford to buy it when it came in new to the dealer.........Bill S

Re: '71 LS6 Corvette on Ebay
Bill, I believe it's the same car. It was at the Waco Regional the past two years. He purchased it and a blue automatic LS6 as a pair. Certainly a wonderful car.
