Yes its a red car. I was told the car was sold on Ebay a while back. The way the rear quartes were cut, it must have been raced thats why it had low mileage.

Tom...That caught my attention. You would rather have a survivor car than a restored one. I have a 69 SS L78 that has never been taken apart. It has been painted though. 66K miles. Nothing wrong with it. Runs and drives excellent. Shows some wear, but is real decent. Would you consider a frame off, or leave it alone?

"Has been painted once" kind of clouds things, as per a true survivor, but if no rust, etc, I would leave it alone and enjoy. I have owned a couple of L-78s with low miles, a '69 Camaro and a '69 Chevelle, both survivors, and both ran great, rode and drove excellent, just fun cars. The Camaro would SCREAM, maybe out running our Yenko Camaro, and the Chevelle simply hooked and went, with no hint of the dreaded wheel hop. As Rob and I get more and more involved in Pure Stock drag racing, we realize we should have kept both of these cars.

Nothing against restored cars, as that is what my cars are, just really appreciate survivors. Partly I think 'cause there are so few of them left.

Thanks for your input Tom. I agree, it is not a survivor, due to the paint. The few things that have been replaced, Master Cylinder, Water Pump, and Carb have been purchased and will go back on. I am concenrating on getting the rustfroofing off everything now. Car runs and drives great. Looks good too. Thanks again for your time...Tony

i didn't think ls6's were bringing that kinda money. i've seen several advertised with all docs. etc. going for around 50k. its a very nice car, but imo i don't think because of a certain color or the number of docs. a car may have outta raise the price, although needs correct docs. but the number thereof has no bearing.

You could've bought it at Vettefest November 22nd for 85K.I believe Flying A restored it.
I like that color.

If this is the Flying A restoration I have seen this car apart as well as finished. It would likely not be a car listed 2 years ago in any ad as the car has been finished for at least a year and under restoration for approx. 2 years prior by my recollection. Again this may not be the Flying A car but looks like it could be with NE paperwork. Car has serious money tied up in it with a super job done by Flying A but knowing what I know about this car it is not worth the money being asked IMHO (doesn't mean they won't get it). I'd be curious to know how it ended up in AZ as the owner during the restoration was from Omaha area.

It's a long story and is owned by the same gentleman who bought the benchmark LS-6. He is pretty quiet about his toys. Although a beautiful car, I was a little surprised to see how high it scored as I had inspected the car at VF and found several errors. Still all in all, a very expertly restored car.

As far as LS6 value..It has always been my personal opinion that a documented, diamond certified LS6 should bring MORE money than a similar COPO Camaro. The reason I believe this has to do with documents and the fact that a buildsheet on a LS6 (again a real buildsheet), pretty much guarantees you are buying the "real deal" all things being equal. I think even with the lower production numbers on COPO's they can't be 100% documented (as a general rule)since just about all are Norwood cars (hardly no broadcast sheets)and therefore shouldn't bring the prices they are.

If we use COPO Camaros as a guide, a correct LS6 that has been Diamond Certified, should be a 125k+ car, as more than likely it is 100% verifable as a LS6. IMO a documented (buildsheet) matching numbered LS6, irregardless of color or options is and should be worth more than a COPO at all levels. Therefore a nice driver (again matching numbered major components and documented through a buildsheet) is at LEAST a 55-60k car. Just my opinions and views..

The market sure doesn't think they are more valuable than a COPO and they probably never were as valuable...anyone have a historical perspective ? Thru the years what has been more valuable ???....
