Hopefully, I'll get a chance to see that LS-6 at some point in the future too.

We also have a Goodwood Green 67 BB that we just had Top Flighted - has to be my favorite in the shop at the moment.

They both look really nice... I've never seen the 1971 in person, but I have seen the 1969 at several NCRS meets when Tom K. owned it. Absolutely gorgeous car with darn near every option. I'd be proud to put either one in my garage.

Actually, Jim from County Corvettes is a member here, and posted this car in the for sale section some months back. As I recall, he said he had an offer at $265,000. It looks like a great car!

I am sorry but If this is all the car it is supposed to be you take it to the big bucks auctions and hype it like "The last Stingray" If you do not have the "apples" for BJ you go to Mecum. At those auctions it will either stand out next to it's peers or it will not. Simple as that.

350k for a corvette is retarded, regardless of who did it, 180k in restoration????what ????why not just go to the barret jackson and buy one fully restored for less than that. thats rediculous you can get 3 lamborghini's for that, your telling me that a corvette is worth 3 lambo's or a brand new house on its own land??????i love my vette but come on now i doubt very highly it will sell for 350k and if it does then the guy who buys it needs serious financial council, it is nice; not doubting its worth alot but no way it's worth that kind of money!!!!! jmho

71 ls6
Thanks for responding with one of the more reasonable responses.
This car is an original - one owner car. Fully documented and very rare.
When I say rare we can break it down like so; 188 LS6 Corvettes were ever produced from the factory with the 454/425hp alum. head big block. 130 ever came with the optioned M-22 Transmission w/ Heavy Duty Double-Disk Clutch. Additionally - this car is a Convertible(Black Vinyl Soft top) with Factory Hardtop, Mille Miglia Red w. Black Leather Interior and well optioned. Everything considered one would be hard pressed to find another LS6 Corvette on the same level as the one in question.
On to the restoration - We are one of the (if not, THE largest) Corvette restoration facilities in the world. We have restored some of the rarest Corvettes in the country. If you ever get a chance to see a car we have worked on in person - you would understand the prices that sometimes go along with these cars. At $96.50/hour (which like stated above is lower that most shops performing similar work) it is not difficult to surpass 150k in costs. Not to mention - when a car is valued at well over 300k, a 180k restoration is what some would call a 'good investment'. This car's restoration is fully documented and open to anyone to view on our website. Please feel free to check it out ; http://www.countycorvette.com/customers/Jpiotrowski.htm
Because of the rarity of the LS6 - there only a few examples of the prices these cars are selling for. With some research you will see that this car is right in line.
So before bashing the price of the car or it's restoration - please do some research.
Now on to some pictures...

Just wondering how current the pic of the engine compartment is. You have a 68 smog pump on it. I may have a 71 if interested in trading. Will need the date stamp on the engine pad to determine the smog pump date you need. Other than that your car is very impressive.
Thanks, grant
