The Briggs Chevrolet Ray Allen 70 LS6convertible

[Stuart Adams]

I say the LS6 will do more... Some of the numbers posted here seem really low, if the number starts stalling at 300 K there will be a shi_ load of people jumping in to steal it, then it will go up fast, IMO.

So if the # of LS6 converts match approx. the hemi cuda converts, how does the LS6 hardtop rank up to the hemi cuda hardtop production #'s. Hemi cuda hardtop values are approching the six figures, so where would that put the LS6 hardtops?. You would think with the rareity they would be about the same price, but people seem to be Hemi crazy right now.

Approaching?? Better check auction results the past couple years

[olredalert]

------It makes sense that LS6 coupes will do over $100,000 as I dont have my car there at the auction this year. I, of course sold it LAST year. Believe Id buy it back for what I sold it for now......Bill S

I'd gladly buy back my Hemi Challenger for what I sold it for 11 yrs ago

I would gladly buy back any car I sold 5 years ago. I think there are too many LS6's, Hemi Cudas etc for prices to be where they are. I think the Ray Allen car is in a special class by itself over other LS6 converts because of what it accomplished.

I'm not a mopar guy, but i know its harder to find the parts to correctly restore a basketcase Cuda or Challenger, etc. than an equally devastated Camaro or Chevelle. Not only are there far less available parts out there, the stuff that IS out there commands prices that some of us pay for entire cars... Chevy guys are just now starting to see the insane prices for hard to find parts...5000.00 grilles, 3000.00 bumpers, 4000.00 hoods, air cleaners, etc. The mopar camp has been bucking up for the rare stuff for years, and therefore the prices of the finished cars are higher too... There is also far less repro stuff available, so when you see a nicely restored Mopar, most of the stuff is real deal NOS stuff, not totally catalog ordered repro parts...which you can't say about alot of the restored chevys at auction.

Exactly; but to me, the car would be at least twice as attractive ($$$) restored to full race trim. New, sitting in showroom condition that car was just another '70s musclecar.... When it hit the track it became the legend. Just a humble opinion.

[Salvatore]

Thats a GREAT opinion Dennis! They should have done that.
