  @Grandpashotrods - I stand corrected. You are right. I totally missed the LS6 heading. These are rare and you may be right. @Camel2300 is weeding out the tire kickers. Best of luck to the seller and hopefully the winning high bidder!

  @TheGuesser this is far from a world record. Scottsdale last year one sold for 275k and several have sold over 200k. Looks like a smart bidder that doesn’t want to play the ridiculous bids game that many enjoy.

  @pcarmarket - You might want to double-check with @Camel2300 on his near $200k bid. I'm assuming there's a typo in there somewhere. It's a nice El Camino but I think that bid would set a record.
