Jerry, I believe that the car will be on the show scene at some point. The owner is a very busy person so I cannot guess when it will appear on the scene but it will.

With '68, '69 L-88 'vettes leaping again in value from just a year ago, those looking for or wishing to acquire a '71 LS-6 'vette better not wait too long.
After almost 20 years of research ( actually 2 mos shy) we have located 92 of the 188 production built LS-6's. Unfortunately I did not keep track of all those cars that were wrecked, just some, so we will never know how many survived, but we are approaching the 50% mark!
The 92 count DOES NOT INCLUDE deceased cars. Look for these cars to take a leap in value soon, as they follow in the L-88's footsteps.

wfo76,
There is some controversy over this. Several very knowledgeable NCRS members as well as my friends believe the total production is 200. I am not of this belief. I have been collecting factory documentation for these cars for years. I have an extensive collection of copies of original Corvette Order Copys, Protect-0-plate/w pamphlet, window invoices, car shippers, dealer sales invoices. The ZR2 optioned LS6 corvettes have the mandatory and optional ECL codes listed in different order than the regular LS6 corvettes. Both list the 1VLS6AA code, however there placement on the Order Copy is different, one being under Engine, the other under Comfort & Con. Both the ZR2 option and the LS6 option are listed on the Order Copy docs for those cars.
We know for a fact that the Tonawanda engine facility produced 212 coded engines for the LS6 option for 1971, this includes both CPW and CPX. Overbuild was approximately 10% for warranty claims/work. This would put the number of production cars at about 191, very close to the printed figure of 188. My personal belief is that the 12 ZR2 optioned LS6 Corvettes are inclusive of the 188 production figure of LS6 optioned Corvettes.

Paul,
We have compiled a list of known/verified LS-6 Corvettes by VIN as well as options, colors, model style. The sheet listing the vins you are referring to was the initial survey vin list started by the late Dr. Hans Norberg.
We have VIN's and information on 6 of the 12 ZR2 LS6 cars. I have leads on 3 other possible cars as well, but have not confirmed them at this time.

This thread is six years old. You'd probably be better off opening a new thread.
