1970 LS6 TRIPLE BLACK RAGTOP

[olredalert]

------Knew Bob F well. Was it this year or last that several of us saw his old LS6 vert in Scottsdale??? I bought a 66 red Hemi Satellite 4spd from Jerome Shinkay that he had bought from Bob. It supposedly had won best of show at some Hemi convention. Loved the car but decided to sell it at an auction that Richard sponsored. Bob showed up with a blue 454 T-top 1970 coupe and when I didnt get enough for the Hemi in the auction we ended up trading cars so Bob got his Hemi back that he said he never wanted to sell in the first place. Somehow, all this rubbed Bob the wrong way and he was mad at me for years. I was the one who should of been mad as he slipped the Corvette past me with a very well done one piece nose that I never saw until after we had traded. Oh well. Sold the Vette rather quickly as it was a pretty nice old car even with the Eckler nose.......Bill S

Well, all of this goes back 30+ years for me.
BTW, Jerry Lampe's cousin Joe lived up the river from Clinton and I had bought a 69 Big block Corvette from him durning the same era. During the dealings Joe told me that he had once owned a 63 Chevy with the "mystery motor" ZL11 I believe was the code??

Did the cars have a stench in them from being down the road from ADM or is that something from within the last 10 years?

I can't get the smell out of a car that I bought from there 7 years ago. Heavy doses of ozone didn't help either.

ADM was called Clinton Corn back in those days, and the smell was all over town when the wind was right. I don't ever remember a car being impregnated with it though.

Here's the convertible in Scottsdale a few years back...Bill was indeed there

I'm fairly certain the car you saw was my old triple black LS-6 convertible that I owned for several years as I seem to recall that dealership listed on some of the paperwork that I had on the car. It was one of the very first LS-6 cars built with a 12C build. The car had the original drive train and was also previously owned by Dana Mecum. It was originally sold at Van Chev. I took it to one of the SCR's and ran it down the track. I ended up selling the car to purchase one of my BM Cars and Stephano owned the car a number of years back as well and I think it is probably still in the greater Chicago area, but I have long lost track of the car.

Astock,

I am new to this site and noticed your post and a couple things caught my attention. "11k Black Nova from Medina/Wadsworth".

I am grew up in Wadsworth and have owned an L78 Black Nova with 17k in miles. Car was bought new in Medina and was in that area entire life. While the coincidences are there, this is a 1969 that i own. Same car? Black/Black bench. 4speed.

Same car,and I would like to have it back. Would you take $5,000 over what you paid?

[Astock]

Just kidding Mark. How about posting a picture of your Nova.
