Rick, hang in there, it just takes time. When we first launched the sYc and began tracking cars, we encountered the same problem. But, as owners realized that we were not going to use the info for anything other then research, most have been more then willling to share info.

I think most folks will agree that this sharing of info has been good for the hobby.

Default Sad LS-6 Story

I have a sad story about a black/black white stripes cowl hood 70 LS6 that a guy I know of bought brand new. The car was a LS6- bench seat m-22 rock crusher 12bolt 4:10 gears. The guy bought the car brand new. He later sold the car to another gentleman who was into dirt track racing and cut the chevelle up and used it for several years on the local dirt track circuit. I love all chevys but I am a corvette guy at heart so I am not up on my chevelle production information. I understand that back in the day that black was a rare color, how rare was black on black with whites stripes LS6.

Default LS-6 Registry (long)

Actually, Black on black with white stripes is fairly common. I know of many currently. Shadow Grey ones are quite rare as well as Black Cherry and the special order colors.

thanks Rick,

I thought black was rare at least it was for corvettes back then. If fact 1969 was the last year for black on vettes until I believe the late 70's

Yes I am. I will be there this weekend inspecting them. There have actually been several new ones that have popped up lately. Some convertibles and some hardtops. I may also inspecting some of these in the near future.

No much to tell. Both were pretty solid cars with paperwork and relatively good restoration starting material. At least one non original LS-6 went with one car but I believe the other came with no LS-6. I honestly did not spend a whole lot of time on either car as we had a lot to look at that day.
