Memories of my friends 1970 LS-6 Red convertible

[Ralph Spears]

A high school friend had a red/black LS-6 4speed conv. he bought in 1971 in Rhode Island AM radio 8 track PBrakes, we used to race it around the streets in the Boston area it had a Jake Kaplan Rhode Island dealer emblem on the trunk lid. Early in 1973 he offered it to me for $2,500 it needed tires and the conv top was cut from an attempted theft, What did I want with a car like that when I just bought a new 1973 Corvette !!!!! Shortly thereafter it was stolen and found burnt.
