LS-6 454 Chevelle

I don’t really know that this qualifies. Don’t get me wrong, it is an awesome car and I would LOVE to have one. But it was basically the king of the street back in 1970 and wasn’t a sleeper car at all.

Nothing being said about sleepers or anything, but here is something that will be worth more $ very soon. Firebirds are cheap right now 1971-1981 and they will be increasing in price.

73 Super Duty Trans Am

Stevil’s got some interesting stuff :tup:

automobiles that to an enthusiast is awesome/collector item, but to the average person, they wouldnt know a difference or care.

I think I hit it. :tup:
There’s quite a few era-specific cars like this (Fairlane 427s, GS, 442, GTX, etc., sedan-based with uprated suspensions, engines, and trannies); most people don’t have a clue to what it is.

Carry on :stuck_out_tongue:

:word: old special dealer ordered LS-7 was tits!

also i was just meaning that back then even an average person saw the SS and 454 badges on a Chevelle and knew there was something special about this car and to watch out before challenging one.

now this was a true sleeper, enthusiast car…
