1971 LS6 Corvette sets new world record.

[Chris_69_SS]

here I was thinking that it set a new E.T. record in the 1/4 mile.....how things change!

Chris,

I'm not sure you would want to set this new 1/4 mile E.T. record in this particular car. It was factory ordered as M22, MA6 & 3:08 ratio!!!!

But I do believe it might have set a good record at the Bonneville Salt Flat runs. Maybe the flying mile runs timed in both directions.

------Warren,,,I would have loved to run into you at BG. Finally went back at Danas insistence and had a lot of fun. Thought of you when I was looking at an LS6 rolling chassis (roadster) in Dick Ferrandos booth. Do you have the info on that one??? He had a bunch of paperwork displayed with it as well..........Bill S

Bill,

Yes, Dick called me needing a tough to find fuel line bracket for his LS6 ZR2. He has sent me copies of the factory paperwork. That is the sixth ZR2 we have found now.

I missed Bloomington this year, as I needed to get my other LS6 running, I've had it for over a year, in fact I bought it in unrunning condition. It had a bad camshaft/lifter, took me awhile but I managed to locate an original NOS GM 3904362 cam and 5232695 lifters for it.
I will definitely be there next year, hopefully we can get together again. Warren

-------Geez,,,Warren. I completely missed the fact that it was a ZR2. Guess I didnt look anywhere near close enough at the paperwork, huh???.............Bill S

What's the number on Dicks car? No paint roadster with docs. Roy Sinor wants 500Gs for the Ontario Orange one. Are they worth that much?

Bill, was that you driving Roby's L71 onto the stage? I was standing there with Bramati, but, didn't recognize you (if it was you).

Mark,

14708. The Ontario orange convertible had a decked stamp pad and modified racing suspension. That car was an export car originally. I bid the car to $210K back a couple of years when it went thru the auction at Bloomington Gold Corvettes. Does have an orginal Corvette Order Copy for docs. Ordered as M22, MA6, 3:55 ratio.

------Yup, Mark, that was me. Wish we would have had a chance to talk a bit. Jack actually made an appearance but he wasnt around long. Something about being overserved the night before.........Bill S

Warren,
I spoke to Roy on Friday and he told me the car has been returned to stock. Pretty neat old car as is Dick's no paint unit. The LS6 cars are neat.

Bill,
You were too busy when I saw you to do much yapping. That was fun to watch that car go through. Yeah, just like Murray to blow in and out quickly. Probably had a go-kart on his mind.

Regards,

Mark
