Charlie that is an Incredible Survivor LS6,
Thanks for sharing these photos.
All these years I have had this clip in one of my boxes and could never figure out what it is for till now. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

[L78M22Rag]

That would be a great car to restore... kidding of course.

Incredible car! Thanks for posting the photos.

Can you do a drive way burnout video <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif

Dan

[Mr70]

Boy that car shines nice.Looks better then your earlier photos.
Love the X on the lic. frame,the white stripe spare,and the sill drips.
Look at all the blue overspray on the underhood...Typical Flint.
Can you show a better close up picture of how the CD-2 electrical wire harness is interfaced with the wiper motor wiring?
There were 3 variations.
You have the correct later issued flat &quot;Impala&quot; rear cobra eye too.
Does the points clock still work?
Is that a 2 dimple battery holddown Bkt. on the passenger floor? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Charley,

Looks like the Original / Survivor &quot;Bar&quot; has just been raised! Fantastic looking Car Charley, congratulations! Question, my LS-6 has the washer monitoring system also. Is that part of the U46 light monitoring system or ZJ9 auxiliary lighting group? Neither are listed on my original window sticker but it was built in Arlington Texas. Just trying to learn more abut how they did it back then.

Bill

[luzl78]

Congrats on the former owner/owners who kept this car so nice!

[WILMASBOYL78]

Our 70 Nova L78 car has the ZJ9 option and it is listed on the window sticker.

-wilma

[Mr70]

Bill
The CD-2 fiber optic washer jar monitor was available all by itself as RPO CD-2.
Or if you ordered the ZJ-9 Auxilary Lighting group,you got the CD-2 option,plus the Courtesy Lights,( Ashtray light,Floor,Trunk &amp; Hood under lights),and the Rear View Mirror map light too.
The U-46 Light Monitoring Vigilites were available separately &amp; not with this group.

Thanks for the pics..

[Ls6 Ragtop]

Car looks amazing! I'd love to see it person. ( MCACN Vintage Cert 2017 Charley? ) Cool paperwork too... Chassis Broadcast has an error on it, let's see if anybody can find it. BTW I have no issue with it's authenticity as I believe it's real. Cool car.
Bill, washer fluid monitor is part of the ZJ9 Auxiliary lighting group not the U46 lamp monitor.
Chris

[Mr70]

Never seen a YE Negative Battery cable on a 1970 LS-6 Chevelle...Just PE,FV &amp; YG.

[Ls6 Ragtop]

Good eye Rick. YE on the negative cable is the issue. YE is a top post cable code. Correct side post codes would be FV or PE.
Chris

[Mr70]

I hear ya.
I understand we're technically talking R79w side terminal battery here,but I included the YG R59 Top terminal Neg.battery cable code,as I have a few 1970 LS-6 Chevelles built @ Baltimore &amp; Van Nuys here showing those came with an R59S battery too.
All early December 1969 assembly dates too so that would explain it.

[supercomp 8.90]

wow that is incredible! it must have sat in some ones living room all these years! or at least a temp controlled environment! awesome Charley!

[68l30]

Nice car! Was this ever in the Northeast Ohio area, Cleveland to be specific? I see Toledo on the paperwork, but I remember a car with striking similarity about 30 years ago.....it was around one night then we never saw it again...... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif

BIG

[chevelleheart]

Wow!! That is incredible! Charlie,...unreal...so great to see a car like this is still around...! Unreal

[Charley Lillard]

Holland Ohio is on the Protecto Plate. Is that Northeast ?

[Mr70]

Take a close look at the jacking instructions for me.
Does the background look black,or dark blue?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Charley Lillard</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Holland Ohio is on the Protecto Plate. Is that Northeast ? </div></div>

Not really, north central at best. But, as popular as this gathering was back then, they might have made the drive. I would bet it is the same car.

Very very nice.

[L72Biscayne]

WOW! What a good looking car. For sale?

[markinnaples]

So what's it like to drive an almost new LS-6?

[Charley Lillard]

Not for sale and so far I've only driven it about 200'.

[Mr70]

Only 5951 original miles.
Back story please,for those who don't know.

[AutumngoldL78]

Please!

[camaromb]

&quot;I've only driven it 200 ft&quot;, reminds me of the Fathom blue LS6 with 9k miles or so. Back in the '90s when Bill Bonham (sp?) owned the car he would only drive it backwards to his space at car shows. He didn't want to add any miles to the car.

[Mr70]

LOL...His upper back &amp; neck was so sore from turning.
He would back it out of the trailer,then back it into his swap spot,the back it back into the trailer.
He'd be upset @ this point,as he knew he had to pull it forward a few feet upon coming out of the trailer next time.
If he still had that car today,it would be perched on 4 caster dollies.

[earntaz]

Smoking the tires 150' of the 200'???

[XXXGoldL34M20]

Charlie any plans on putting back the white line Bias Ply tires on all 4 corners to match the spare tire?

I don't know the back story yet. Sometimes something is offered to you and you take the seller at his word. It seems to have worked out. Previous owner I'm told had it about 25 years when he sold it to a friend a couple weeks ago. I just laid eyes on it Sunday when I got back from Scottsdale.

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

[seventieshow]

Beautiful car, great color and super survivor. The dealership building appears to still be at 801 Front Street in Toledo.

[Vortecpro]

Beautiful car Charlie! &quot;So what's it like to drive an almost new LS-6?&quot; I can answer that, based on this 4300 mile LS6 that is simply incredible, its like going back to Courtesy Chevrolet in TO in early 1970 and test driving a LS 6 right off the podium in front of the dealership, of course I'm not sure the dealership car had 4.10 gears with a rockcrusher. And yes thats original paint.

Probably looks right at home next to that amazing classic copper 1970 Z28 that you shared with us a while back. Great car; congratulations.

[Charley Lillard]

That Classic Copper Z is with a dummy in a barn in Iowa..... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

[camaromb]

That dummy sure has a lot of nice junk in that barn!!

[SS427]

Including an unrestored Black LS6 coupe. Great collection.

[L78M22Rag]

I wish I was that Dummy...

Never thought I'd hear myself say that?

[TimG]

Great LS6, I love the paperwork....

[DW31S]

I was wondering......did the $240,000 red LS6 change the market, or was that just a &quot;Barrett-Jackson moment&quot;? If it DID change the market, what is a time-capsule reference specimen such as this one worth now? I'm not prying and asking specifics; more of a barometer reading situation.

[SS427]

Kudos to the seller for getting that for the car but I personally do not see that as the new mark any more than the $1.2m was the new mark for an LS6 convert and we all know what happened to that car the very next year. All these sales do is hype all the sellers up thinking their car is now worth double what they were asking. Are the prices for LS6's climbing again? I think a little but nowhere near that mark. I personally think the same thing now as I did before, if there is only one interested buyer the prices will stay stable. If there are more than 2 buyers at an auction that must have that car than the sky is the limit. However, I do not feel that makes it the new barometer. j/m/o

[Charley Lillard]

Little update...Car had been with last owner in Colombia IL since 94.

[NEATSS]

Charley....would the owner in Columbia have been JS? His cars were at a local show about 3 years ago. A close friend got to see them then. That is the only time I heard of anything he owned being out.

Well, there's nobody paying $180,000+ for 10th Anniversary Trans Ams since last year's Scottsdale auction when that happened, so I'd say 240K for an LS6 hardtop is the same situation - a market anomaly involving two guys who wanted the car, that's it.

It's cool to see another car with the U46 light monitoring system. My '70 ram Air IV Judge also has this option. I have the Pontiac option production records and this was one of the rarest in 1970.

I had the pleasure of seeing this car yesterday.

It's a rock star!!!!!
