Thanks for the radio Howie <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif and glad to hear you successfully loaded the car with no scratches, dings or dents. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

[Xplantdad]

Have fun all! Please take pics!

[Kim_Howie]

Fri day Night when I was at Momouth I had a Gal come up to me
with a pic of a silver 69 camaro. She said the picture was taken when the car a couple months old. She then said it was a ZL-1. She also had the Vin# for the car. She said the car sold at Actuion a couple years ago. She gave me the # and wanted to know who owned the now so she could get the pic to them.
The vin # is 608879. Send me a private mess and I will give them their Phone # to contact them.
Thanks Kim

[Kim_Howie]

By the way I had a great time at the reunion. Talked to Helen and Nancy. Talked to a whole lot of people. Weather was hot but cool light winds would come thru once in awhile. The turn out seemed good.!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

[Kim_Howie]

The #2 ZL-1 was there!! Great story behind it.

[Salvatore]

Hey Mr. Howie, couldn't you make those 3 statements all in one post? Taking up to much space like they do in Washington. Geeze!!

[Kim_Howie]

Damm, Sam your starting to sound like a litte left wing!!!

[Kim_Howie]

What NOBODY knows this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Nobody's paying attention Kim. I put up some pix without any descriptions and they haven't picked up on it yet. I'm tellin you; for all the detail freaks we have on this site, sometimes they miss what's right under their noses. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

[Xplantdad]

I was waiting for you to describe what that Blue ZL1 was...I figured that you were getting old and forgot!

[SS427]

I wish Annie had been able to go and meet the owners. They were great people and it was neat to tell them the stories of Annie's father-in-law and the #1 and 2 car on New Years Eve in 1969. We hope they will be bringing the car to MCACN for the ZL1 display.

[68l30]

Alright, I'll be your Huckleberry....Are you saying thats the number TWO ZL-1 (569359) Mrs Shay Nichols/ DH prepared S/S Camaro...? Way too cool...Numbers one and two back in LaHarpe!!



Steve

[68l30]

Pleeze tell me more....!!! Was once on the destroyed / unaccounted list to being back where it belongs! Whats the history...??

Steve

[Xplantdad]

Hi Big Steve!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Yep! #1 &amp; #2 side by side again in LaHarpe after nearly 43 years.

Mike &amp; Peggy Flash from Beaumont Texas made the trip to Monmouth &amp; LaHarpe with #2. He has owned the car for 30 years and it RARELY sees daylight. It's in amazing shape considering it retains most of its original paint. When Mike bought it, the engine was blown (not the original aluminum engine, but an iron block) and it had 'glass front fenders and a lift-off hood. He replaced the front sheetmetal and painted everything from the doors forward, also blending into the doors.
He also thought #2 was the Shay Nichols car but all the pictures show lace &amp; cobweb paint on her car. Mike says there's absolutely no indication of a repaint on this car, or of any lace/cobweb work. He knows the history of the car; he's the fourth owner.
I was hoping Charley would say something about Mike &amp; Peggy coming to MCACN so I just threw some pix out to entice everyone. BTW, they sounded very interested and it's sounding like they may make the trip to Chicago in November. (Even Barnhart didn't scare them off!)
Like Rick said, they're really nice folks and everyone enjoyed the time with them. I hope they enjoyed the trip and their time in LaHarpe. Looking forward to seeing them again in November.

[ORIGLS6]

Here she is again.

Very cool!! If I follow this correctly...this is number #2 but not believed to be the Shay Nichols car? I would have thought that would have been a no brainer since only two cars were delivered Dec 31...Hard to lose track that fast.

So now my question is, where and what number is the Shay Camaro?

My next question is about the magazine drag test that was done with the &quot;number one&quot; car after delivery...Are we sure that was #1 now not #2?? Fred G. said that #1 was turned around in 3 weeks and ready to race..I know it was cold that day( at the track) but not -22 (?) like it was Dec 30th in LaHarpe. I'm thinking it could have been #2 now while #1 was prepped to race...? Just a question that comes to mind, not tring to start a debate.. I'm interested in learning more!!

Concur - &quot;very cool!!!&quot; Hope they bring it to MCACN this fall. Cool that they have both the body &amp; chassis sheets! Is this unusual to find in the aluminum Camaros?

That is history in those pix. Thanks DC! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif

[RPOLS3]

Very cool history and a significant car for sure! Love the column shift automatic.

Couple of curious questions from someone still learning about ZL-1's:

Anyone know what the tag on the dash is in this picture?

Does #2 have it's born with engine?

I noticed it has non-smog exhaust manifolds - is this an anomoly or just something that has been changed over the years?

Absolutely beautiful car, not trying to pick at it, just curious.

[olredalert]

-----Jake,,,Im also curious about the brake pedal. Is that how automatic cars were delivered???......Bill S

[ORIGLS6]

&quot;Anyone know what the tag on the dash is in this picture?&quot;

Honestly, I didn't even notice it when I got the pix, but I'm pretty sure it's the &quot;Built by Dick Harrell&quot; tag you see on other Harrell cars.

Also, I'd guess the exhaust manifolds ARE NOT the ones that came on the car. Mike told me the car had a blown iron block in the car when he bought it, but that he already had a ZL-1 engine for the car. Obviously NOT the born-with unit.
