Default Re: Unrestored LS6 value?

Misty Turquoise is a rare color especially on LS6's. I think I have a few in my data base including the LS6 convertible I restored as well as another well known convert and a few coupes. However there is a smaller audience who are interested in that color so that may hurt a little though both converts and at least one coupe have brought good money in the past. If the car is going to Indy there are a lot of LS6'S will be there so that could also hurt a little. I will be there looking for LS6 cars for a couple of clients. I would be very interested in learning more about the car before I go if you wouldn't mind sending me some information and photos. Condition, paperwork and born with drivetrain mean everything and this car could do quite well. What plant is it from and what is the production date?

Wow, really? You expect colors like baby crap brown or army drab green to take a hit compared to black or red, but Misty Turquoise is such a pretty and unusual color. Not doubting you at all, but that just shocks me.

Hi Rick, is that the same car you had in your garage years ago when you met me at the MSP airport?

My 68 SS427 had a repop window sticker that came from TAE on it when I bought the car in 1981.

I personally like Misty Turquoise but I am an exception to the rule as I like uncommon colors. I get asked every day to locate LS6's for people and it is always Black, Red and Fathom Blue, then maybe Cortez Silver and in that order. Army Drab Green (Forrest Green) is usually near the bottom of the request list. There are no browns.
