Yup and I have the other one. Found mine in a garage..belonged to a Vietnam Vet who was killed, body never recovered. His parents could never bring themselves to sell the car until he was accounted for. Recently a team of forensic experts found the aircraft crash site in Laos.......... Dad recently died of Alzheimers and the mother needed money for hip replacement!!!!!!

Come on people lets get real with all this foolishness!!!!!

I'm sure it's not 1 of 2, but It's gotta be pretty darn close.

That color is ugly as he!!. I won't doubt the one of two claim. I mean who in there right mind would want a robin egg blue muscle car?

A gurl?

A gurl?

Well said Gary, well said!

I like this color combo.An optional feature available to this powerhouse in 1970 was chambered exhaust. :noway:

It's Carolina Blue and people around here bleed that color so I'm sure it was a Tarheel fan that ordered it originally. A lot of rare cars are rare because people didn't WANT them - case in point with this car - paint it a color that the rest of the country thinks is ugly and it'll be a rare car. Remember, rare doesn't always mean desireable.

A couple things I thought odd, on the build sheet the paint info looked like someone typed that in 20 years later. Second, most Chevelles I have seen that are original North Carolina cars are Baltimore built cars. I personally own two Baltimore built Chevelles that have been in NC all thier lives and have seen dozens of other original NC Chevelles that are Baltimore cars, but what do I know. I agree with Mike, that color is rare, how this guy knows 1 of 2 is just BS, but I am sure it is rare. Most people I know wouldn't want that color, with the exception of maybe a few Chapel Hill liberals, but then again they are usually into Audi's or BMW's, not politically incorrect Chevelles :)

Also, why would a rare original SS like this have a repop dash? I'd like to see the cowl tag too, to see if this is in fact the original paint. Wonder why he left off a picture of that

To my knowledge there are NO GM records of how many of any color, standard or special order, were produced. I've seen a couple of other 70's done in this color, not LS6 cars, but they are SS cars. Also have some photos of 69, 71 & 72 Chevelles this color.

Legendary Motors had a 70 model for sale for a long time. I could have sworn the paint code on their car was 926-98371 where this one is 926-96881. :confused:

I agree though it's a color one either seems to love or hate. There are a myriad of details lacking under the hood {no A.I.R., wrong decals, orange water intake, etc.}, four small bezels outlined in silver on the dash, and more.

Car recently appraised at $111,000 eh? According to the BJ article, it sold in April of 2005 for $111,240 - plus buyer's premium I'm sure. Not so much of an investment for that buyer...seems it lost a little value over the past 5 years. I agree with Luis, chambered exhaust died in 1969. A bit of a novelty is the bucket seats but no console.

Nicely documented LS6 but seller seems a bit overzealous in the description.

This car is 30 miles from were I live..I may have to go see it for myself. I find it odd how dirty the front carpet is...Not a fan of the color but it sure does have to be very rare.

If I remember right it was a North Carolina color only. You have to live in NC to understand how many people bleed blue.

Sheet looks legit to me. Has all the right codes in the right places. I've seen that type of typing on other sheets as well. Some plants use hand-written info for special paint too. Weird options for sure, this is only the second LS6 I've seen without Positraction....

There's a really nice, restored '70 442 in Florida that is Carolina Blue (with matching Carolina Blue S/S wheels). I think it's listed pretty cheap like $21k but it's been for sale for years and years and it's got to be the color because it's an otherwise beautiful car.

A friend of mine worked in N Carolina for a few years, he brought back a 70 SS454 LS5 convertible in Carolina Blue. It was a truly unique color alright.

Its gotta be truely 1 of 2 if Barrett Jackson says so,They wouldnt lie! Would They?

You would think for that money that the guy would fix the detent roller on the door hinge, on the driver's side! It looks like you could just lift the old roller right off the pin! I could help him out, for a little bit of money.

Willie

Yea,Truly Odd with that color-AND- the fact it was ordered without Positraction ???? How many other documented LS6's out there without Posi ??? Smells double fishy to me....

Posi was simply an option. If you didn't 'check the box', you didn't get it regardless of how much HP you bought. There are a lot of LS6 cars with Bench Seat/Column shift/non-Cowl Induction simply because optional equipment was not ordered. I've seen a lot of Musclecars of all makes that weren't ordered with a locking differential including SS cars.

This is a Carolina Blue Chevelle my neighbor bought about ten years ago. He moved away shortlly after that and I never saw the car again. He paid $5,500 for it.

It was a 396/350, auto with black bucket seats and air. No gauges, no stripes and no cowl induction. It did have the original drive train along with the original exhaust tips. He had the original build sheet for it too.

The first time I saw it I thought it was a repaint or some weird primer. It was a very solid car and I wish I could have talked him out of it.

I would like to know where he bases that 1 of 2 thing off of.

Just a couple of things wrong here repop manifolds No Smog, Repop booster, wrong master,wrong ps brackets pulleys, and the list goes on. it was sold then at BJ by a no so great seller !!!!. Jim

I actually like the color and love the car.
But unless it's a Super Bird, I wouldn't pay 99K for any car

I was looking at a silver LS6 at Legenday when the Caralina blue car was there for sale. They told me one of seven at that time. I did not like the colour. The silver one was $89,000 CDN and the Caralina blue was less .

No posi but the restorer stuck the posi decal in the trunk anyway.

I was at BJ in 04' when that car crossed the block. It certainly hasn't aged well, that's for sure!!!!:noway:

My dad bought a 70 Robins Egg car in about 87. It was an original paint SS convertible 4 spd w/air. If memory serves it was an LS-5 car, but someone had taken out the 454 and put in a 396 and even changed the fender badges to 396. The cool thing about the paint was that it was ordered without SS stripes. This was one of the most solid cars I have ever driven, and being that color without the stripes, I could really sneak up on some guys down on the cruising strip. My whole family was in love with the car, and when he sold it about ten years later we were all heartbroken. He regretted selling it as soon as it left. I have never seen another one like it, and if any of you have run across it, it would be great to know where she is and if she is still breaking hearts!

This is the one from Legendary,
A friend of mine traded another LS6 car to get it.
Original LS6 car,4 speed/white bench seat interior,no cowl induction,no gauges.
Original paint with Original Dark blue vinyl roof.
For some reason Legendary added the white stripes to the Original paint as it never came with the white stripes(the current owner told me this).
Motor has the rare dual snorkel air cleaner.
Car is a real beauty as i have seen it many times in person here in the greater toronto area.
A former feature car in a few magazines.
Maybe this is the other 1 of 2
I know this one is real though as it has great history and documents and it is a surviver with only the stripes added,there are no hood pins on the car.

A friend of mine worked in N Carolina for a few years, he brought back a 70 SS454 LS5 convertible in Carolina Blue. It was a truly unique color alright.
Sounds like your friend may have bought our old car. Does he still have it?

You drive a car that color and you don't have to have positraction.:p
Just kidding, would I let the color stop me from buying it? NO.

You could get special order paint from any plant. I know of a 72 Carolina Blue Chevelle that was built in Texas.

one thing i know for sure... if it were mine, the floor wouldn't look like someone just slopped thier way through the pigpen with thier gum boots on, then flopped thier a$$ down in the driver seat :noway:

I talked to the seller and he is stating that it is 1 of 2 with these factory options, not just 1 of 2 blue cars.

nasty post deleted.

copocabana, this type post is not welcome here. There's plenty of places on the net where you post cruddy stuff like that, suggest you start trying them.

I talked to the seller and he is stating that it is 1 of 2 with these factory options, not just 1 of 2 blue cars.


And he is making that up as well. No figures exist for combination of options. Sellers always need to seem to put a number on the rareity, as a means of defining it's value. What they always seem to miss is that desireability ALWAYS trumps rareity. The fact that this is a Carolina Blue car probably drops its value, as there are not as many buyers going to want that particular color. I used to own a Carolina Blue 72 SS with 5 NCOA trophies to its name. Trust me, the fact that it was the color it was did not help the sale, when I sold, but I found that one buyer that fell in love with it. You would not believe how many times I was told at a show there was no way it was a factory color. Course none of those guys could explain the missing paint code on the cowl tag, either.

I agree with others here. In todays market, the missing stuff under the hood will mean more than the sum of how many with this combo were built. And I sure like the paint color, but it had to grow on me. And I know the crowd willing to spend $111K on a musclecar is pretty picky, and will probably wait for a better color. But, the guy that may fall in love with it is out there, just not as many of him.

Yeah, Who could possibly want a robbins eggs blue 1 of 2 car.. crazy..Like you wouldnt drive it and f... it up anyway!! Get the dumbass kids off this forum, they have no idea.

Take it easy there Cabana.

Rude, VERY RUDE. :yes:
And you have no idea of knowing anything about him. :noway:

Be nice or just go away.

I think the color looks badass. I would kill to have that car.

Chevy sold Carolina Blue Chevelles in NC from at least 66 through 74. They were part of some sort of special NC promotion every year (like the special gold color that was sold in SC). If I understand it correctly, you could special order one to your own spec's during the promotion, but the vast majority of the cars were spec'd by Chevrolet and each NC dealer had to take at least one (or more if a bigger dealer) as part of their dealer stock order alotment during the promotion. It would be interesting to know the cowl tag dates on all the known cars, to see if all of a given year were built in one big batch.

On the comment above that cars sold new in NC were all built in Baltimore, that's not correct. I have several Atlanta cars that were sold new in Kannapolis NC (just north of Charlotte). It probably depended on what part of the state the dealer was in (more Baltimore cars sold in the northern part of the state, more Atlanta cars sold in the southern part, etc.).

If I remember right it was a North Carolina color only. You have to live in NC to understand how many people bleed blue.


Exactly.
People in North Carolina take college basketball extremely serious, unlike any other state I've lived in or been in.
I've seen lots of people around here with hats, hoodies, etc., flying their colors.
If this was originally a North Carolina car, I'd bet a paycheck it was ordered with that color by a Tar Heels fan.

Jeff,
I remember when I had the Carolina Blue Chevelle, on one of my many visits to meet with NCOA President, Mark Meekins, he decided to give me a taste of what it was like in that area, and the reason that dealers went to all that trouble to order a special color. We went to the area of NC where the college is located, don't remember the streets, or names, lets just say we were "In the Neiborhood". Every third driveway, had a Chevelle, an Impala, or maybe even a Ford pickup that color. It was not just confined to Chevelles, in fact, not even just a GM thing. I have seen Oldsmobiles in this color. The demand was there, and since dealers responded to that demand, such an order was not out of the question. It was just good business on the dealers part.
