Once it hit the 30 mile mark I lost all interest in it, sorry. Just too many miles at that point to justify the high asking price.

Wow...that car is just drop-dead gorgeous in Cranberry Red. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

[lwkitt427]

WHAT A PEICE OF CHEVY HISTORY. JUST GREAT TO LOOK AT AND SEE HOW THEY REALLY CAME FROM THE FACTORY

[al8apex]

I was always under the impression that they got the dual snorkel air cleaner if they did not have the functional cowl hood ... there goes another "myth"

[GenOne]

Amazing http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[olredalert]

------Am I wrong thinking that the dual snorkel is California only???.......Bill S

[Mr70]

That's a partly true myth & it wasn't a California thing either.
For the LS-6 Chevelle,the anomaly dual snorkle was possible from any of one of it's assembly plants during it's <u>later</u> assemblies for a <u>brief</u> time,including Van Nuys be it with or w/o NA-9.
3 types of air cleaners were indicated in box 55 of it's buildsheet.
SS the std. SS pckg. Open element.(No flapper hood)
DG the optional ZL-2 working flapper hood w/seal.
CO the Dual Snorkle.(No flapper hood)..and was at assembly lines discretion,not salesmans or new owner.

[ORIGLS6]

My 05D Arlington car is a Dual Snorkle. Also came with Generals. Here's the original spare.

I was thinking ths same thing.

Both of those cars together would make and incredible pair of Survivors. If you didn't know the History of the cars, its hard to believe that they survived in the condition which they did. If you ever have a chance to view either of these magnificent Survivors, do not pass it up.
