They'd reported that the Red LS6 had been in a police chase in 1975 and
the owner was told to park it, or he'd wind up
in jail, so he put it in storage. Had like 10k miles on it and was
original, not restored. They reported that this was the
first time the car had been in public since 1975.
I can understand the history of the race car, but still seems kind of
nuts... Wonder what a REALLY famous race car would
go for...like one of Grumpy's camaros... ;)

I'm trying to understand why the '70 chevelle race car went for 1.1
million, and
the ALL Original '70 convertible that's been in storage for the
past 30
years
went for 475K... Seems BassAckwards to me...
That Red LS6 ragtop has been restored, it's not an unrestored car. As
for the race car, they were bidding on the history of it more than
anything, but it's still nothing more than the mentalilty of "I have
more money than you do"
