And no I'm not a Mobil 1 fanboy, although I have tried it a couple times.
Awesome car. My uncle has the ls-6 454. He bought it brand new in 1970. It's completely stock and rarely sees the light of day. The torque that engine has is incredible and will break the tires loose at will.
He says that his car,because its all original and has the ls-6 engine and colour combo is worth 250000 grand and he has seen them go for more at the Barrett-Jackson auction. He said he bought it for 9000 which in 1970 is the equivalent to something like 80 thousand in today's dollars.
He has already willed it to me when he dies,since I'm the only gearhead in our family.
I'm almost looking forward to him dying(I know,I know but come on,what a car). It's got drum brakes iirc. In the 70s I guess stopping wasn't really a concern.
Hehehe
That car is definitly worth alot of money. I would not change a thing on that bad boy. I'm not a big Chevy fan but them there Chevelles are awesome cars.
