LS6 Chevelle 29K mi Survivor

FYI.

Blk/Blk/Wht LS6 Chevelle (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LS-6-Unrestored-Survivor-29-500miles-Paperwork-VIN-454_W0QQitemZ4619762286QQcategoryZ6164QQrdZ1QQcmdZ ViewItem#thumbsArea)

When I see a car that is supposed to be a Survivor and the splash shields for the inners are missing, I always wonder what happened to them. I can understand the smog gone and the exhaust manifold change, but those shields gone make me scratch my head.

-------Dealer emblem is from Tempe (Ariz. I assume) yet the original owner was from Texas. Is there a Tempe Texas??? Not impossible by any means but somewhat unusual. Maybe in the service???......Bill S

-------Also, why does the tag say 19/19 with a vinyl top???

[bilede]

I believe Dan Steakley chevrolet was in texas. they sold zl1 number 31 I believe I read somewhere.

[Bill Pritchard]

Close, Bill.....Temple, TX. Belton and Temple are very close to each other. I thought that odd too about the car having a vinyl roof.

You wonder how the term "survivor" has become to be used on just about anything for sale. do they mean because it is 35 years old and is still around it is a survivor? So many things wrong with this car,repop interior,just about everything under the hood,master,non smog manifolds,wrong hoses,belts,repop valve covers. I could go on and on but i wont. Also Bill you are right,vinyl top without the b on the cowl tag. Kind of makes you wonder if the car in the pics is different from the one that is really for sale.

Steakly may have had more than 1 dealership. I know he had 1 in Dallas and still does to this day.

"What are the chances that a very rare Arlington built Chevelle would be an LS-6" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif Not so rare........

"and have survived the past 36 years with most of it's original paint," http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Ho hum........

"most of it's original interior" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif MOST? Where's the rest?

"protecto-plate" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif check! "original title" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif no big deal, "only accumulated 29,000 documented miles", OK, so you got me by 3K http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif, "and be Tuxedo Black"

Sorry guys; sounds like a pretty "Average Car" to me! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[chads454Ls6]

Dennis,do you know of a car like this? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Actually, if you include Leeds cars, I know of two! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I just talked to the seller this past weekend at a local car show we attended. He was there in a beautiful green LS6 and told me that he had another black one (this car). If anyone needs an up close inspection let me know. I am not affiliated with the selling of this car.

Arlington was stingy w/buildsheets,but if it's holding one,chances are it's between the sound deadner and the floorboards.I would aim for the drivers side heel pad first.
Besides the 3 mentioned,I know of 2 more Black LS-6 claimed survivors located in and around Illinois.They seem to be the flavor of the month.

Wasn't this also the case with Flint cars?

[SS427]

Much worse with Flint cars.

Dan Steakley Chev. Co. in Temple, Texas was dealer 700 in zone 07. I have a window sticker from a '64 that I bought that came from there.

The vinyl top on this car is an aftermarket add-on, which explains the absence of the vinyl top code on the tag. The moldings don't follow the same contour as original pieces.

[P.J.]

We removed the spash shields so the enjine
ran cooler a common practice in those days . we also removed the smog and both
were garbaged.

Anyone else notice the 71 intake with the numbers on it. Why was the column out, missing the the toe gaurd, insulation, the dash has been done as well. Can't tell for shure but some one has spent was too much time on the survivor car underneath , nice late model posi tag.. The shift lens is a 71, the lens is cloudy on the dash and is that a 71 radio. True someone could have juiced the equippment for resale. I don't mean to pick but thes are just a couple of obvious things.

I'm back, Pearl interior cars had Black headliners, So thats been changed Too!!!. More importantly L@@k at the Vin stamp picture. Not at the stamp but at the alternator brace. Hmmmm, Yes Guys it has 73 up heads that take a bolt into instead of the stud for the alt. We can't see the Broach marks, but now Heads, Intake, Exhaust manifolds,all the pulleys are wrong, not a one is deep groove. Good luck to the Buyer of this car. I think the only thing that survived was the Vin!!!!!!!!!!
