That video I posted is from August 1, 2013. Muscle Car Of The Week was a series on The Brothers Collection. It was #8 in the series which exceeds 360. I know Charley has history with The Brothers. Maybe he will chime in on the car.

You can also see it in the MCACNtv youtube show, MCACN Northwest 2020.

----Bill,,,I was there in the same tent with "Red Alert". Two red/black gut 70 Chevelle's, one bone stock and the other a bit modified,,,LOL! I also brought down an awesome maroon 1939 Ford Woody Hot Rod.. Red didn't sell, but the woody did. The owner of the low mile car then was the lengthy owner from Rhode Island that I mentioned.....Bill S

----Ryan,,,I just know most of the old farts. Not so many of the new guys, unfortunatly, as there are a lot of great new guys like yourself that I could probably learn a thing or two from. The LS6 drove as you would expect. Tight as a drum and not even broken in. I definetly didn't test my luck with a blast!.....Bill S

Amazing. Did the original owner plan to keep the miles down?

Isn't that crazy ???!!! I can't imagine owning a car like that from new and never driving it. It just baffles me how many of these cars seem to be around that rarely got driven...

Many years ago there was a now-defunct car magazine that I subscribed to. They had an article on a 59 Impala, 348, 3 speed manual, that had only about 30 miles or so on it. The owner had bought it new.....think it was in either North or South Carolina. He was fussin' over it after he brought it home from the dealership and someone razzed him and told him he should just put it up on jack stands and never drive it so it would stay clean. So that's what he did. Fortunately, he was fanatical in his care of the car, because it was still as new. Only drove it one other time, when he bought a different house and moved. Just a wee bit eccentric, I guess.

Bill, the original owner was Jennings B. Summerour from Forest Park Georgia. He also owned my 1000 mile 68 Biscayne L72. He bought the Ls6 for his wife. I spoke with his wife back in 2017. She told me that he hardly drove the two cars. Both the Ls6 and Biscayne were sold from east point Chevrolet in east point Georgia. When Anthony Owned the car my friend Jeff put a low mileage smog system back on the car. I think at the time it had around 25 miles on it. Jennings owned a trucking company. He drag raced a 55 Chevrolet and a 62 409. He passed away back in 89.
