4,475 Chevelle LS6 coupes and convertibles were built in 1970. About 500 El Camino LS6 left the factory, leaving around 3,975 Chevelles in the hardtop and convertible varieties. Some suggest there were fewer than 30 convertibles constructed. Others say as many as 100 could have been built. Regardless, a 1970 LS6 convertible in concours condition can fetch between $400k and $500k today.
 | Auction Lot S124 at Mecums. True Chevelle LS6 Convertible. Concours rotisserie restoration. Matching-numbers 454/450 HP V-8 engine. The LS6 was a monster engine, to get one installed required the accompanying Z15 Super Sport Package. The engine's performance came from 11.25 compression, solid lifters, a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a Winters aluminum intake. | |
 | Concours-grade rotisserie restoration. Heavy-duty M40 TH400 automatic transmission and a 4.10 Positraction differential. F41 suspension, power steering and power brakes with front discs. |  |
 | The car's high bid was $270k against an estimate of $325k to $375k |
 | This Black Cherry example is flawless inside and out, features a numbers-matching drivetrain, and boasts a very desirable color combination. A professional frame-off restoration lasted two years. It's as factory correct as it gets, with the LS6 mated to an M22 four-speed transmission. |
