This is going to be a very interesting situation this year.
There are at least four LS-6 convertibles for sale right now.You would think that would lower their prices considerably but John's Mist Green on Ebay is showing a bid was placed at 650K today,so maybe one of these will hit the One mil mark,or very close to it.

Good points Rick. Now, is four of these cars good for the auction or a detraction from maybe just having one or two

After very carefull consideration which didn't seem to work, I ended up throwing a dart at a price board. I'm saying $710K.

[Charley Lillard]

I think Don is the closest so far....

[hvychev]

I will be suprised if one breaks $400K

[Charley Lillard]

I think the Ray Allen car will do over 700K. I would take it over a average ZL1. What will do more, the Ray Allen LS6 or ZL1 # 9 ?

What I find very interesting is that the market value of LS6 ragtops is predicated on the assumption that the production total for these cars is near those of the rare hemi ragtop cars like Cudas. The figure that has generally been quoted is 18-20, and the argument often made by sellers is that if the production numbers of LS6 ragtops are comparable to that of hemi Cudas, then they should bring comparable money. What has been discussed elsewhere on this board is that the real number is likely closer to 200-300. I wonder what would happen if the corrected estimates were more widely circulated in collector circles, such as in the musclecar mags. I'm not saying the bottom would fall out of the LS6 ragtop market, but I'm sure that prospective buyers would have a different mindset believing that there may have been 300 of these cars built rather than 18.

I would love to see those LS6 cars knock the cover off the ball,which brings up a question-who/what/where sets the standard of the perceived value on these?.Is it established annually at BJ now? If the verts pull 3,4,500k,does that push like hardtops into six figures automatically? Seems like the BJ theme is heavily weighted to Detroit iron now,there weren't really all that many unique muscle cars last year so this should be quite a show.
