Equipment
454ci/450hp LS6, M22 4-speed, 3.31 Positraction, power steering, power front disc brakes, bench seat with headrests, SS wheels with Wide Oval tires, documented with two build sheets.
Condition
Represented as the original engine, transmission and rear end.. Very good near flawless paint with only a tiny scratch on the passenger's side rear quarter. Good interior. Detailed engine compartment. It lacks the usual options seen with an SS like bucket seats, center console, full instrumentation, stripes and cowl induction. It seems the original owner was only concerned about putting the power down.
Market commentary
This LS6 has an extensive auction history. It sold for $172,800 at Russo and Steele Monterey in 2003 and for $143,100 at Auburn Fall 2003. It also hammered sold at for $160,125 at Mecum Rockford 2004, again at a $367,500 at Mecum Rockford in 2007 where it was acquired by Dana Mecum for his personal collection and again for $397,500 at Mecum Indy 2009. Value for these cars post-Recession dipped drastically not long after that last Indy sale and haven't fully recovered since. While this is a very good car, a $240,000 high bid for it in 2020 isn't unreasonable when the fever for LS6 convertibles has cooled considerably.
