The plan is to have Rick restore the car in the near future, and if everything works out time wise I am going to trailer it to Mesa and take a pic of Ray standing next to her exactly forty years to the day it rolled off.

We will be there Mark no matter what it takes.

Glad you finally made your ownership public. It is a very neat car with lots of history and significance.

I am aware of a blue LS-6 conv. near trenton,nj area...although I heard it had since been rebodied due to a fire, I was there the day the owner recieved the original build sheet and then the car arrived a few days later(over 15 years ago)...I believe from Washington state......but I do remember distinctely the build sheet showing the car being a "zone promotion vehicle" and/or "zone pilot vehicle"...we were thinking it was probably one of the first LS-6 cars...I assume you already may have the info. on the car in your database...its blue w/blue gut and white stripes...auto...if not, I do know the owners name and he is probably available....and I figure the build sheet/car info. would probably be a valuable addition to your database...let me know...

I seem to recall my triple black LS-6 conv. had a Dec 17th build. It was certainly a very early car.

My LS-6 Convertible's engine was T1128CRR for a Jan 5th build.
