Only 69 plus two proto-types of these special Camaros were ever produced.
I believe that less than 50 exist today with 19 at MCACN last year.

We have all seen 1969 Camaros with nothing at all original to them and just holding the VIN position of the original ZL1 bring hundreds of thousands of dollars at public auction. Camaros with ZL1 trim, VIN tags and correct parts bring upwards of $500,000.00

This ZL1 is priced at $450,000.00 obo/trade call 630-377-1222 for more info

... Wow! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif

[sYc]

Cool car...restored as raced.


I wish that year Carl had it at Gateway for the SCR he had been able to make a pass or two.

[MosportGreen66]

Wow... sinister look.

Bought as a stick and now an automatic?

[Stefano]

Yes it's an automatic now.

&quot;Currently set up with Iron Block 700hp 427, automatic and a Dana rear with 4.56 gears.&quot;

Per the info I have from the current owner.

It would appear to be the same Car.

This ZL1 was painted black and did run a similar small block set up in the 1970s.

This ZL1 was known as <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;The Black Phantom&quot;.</span>

[Salvatore]

Wow, a ZL-1 running F/MP with a little motor. Looks like Doc Dixon's camaro. Great photos!

[markjohnson]

I believe that this is the car that Pro Stock driver Larry Morgan had known about for many years and tracked down.

[Chevyfever]

Now that is what they were bred for,anyone know the owner or driver in the Indy scene and as found photo?

[Stefano]

I would surmise that is Roger Cunningham the Sales Manager at Lavery Chevrolet.

[subyman99]

Id like to have that truck the zl1 is on also! Man that would be cool to find, still sitting on the old race hauler. Awesome car!

[PeteLeathersac]

It's just so cool seeing the evolution of the car through the pics!
Especially being a ZL1 that original hood w/ frt. plate shot is priceless including shoe behind the wheel!!!
Comparing Nats shot w/ the '76 mag article pics Jan posted, aside from hood change, decal additions and a few other details the car looks much the same, next owner?

[njsteve]

I gotta ask: what is the blue panel with the hole in it?

[68l30]

Read between the squiggly lines Steve.... X-44

If you aren't looking for it, you'd never see it!

BIG

[Stefano]

That is the rear seat frame bulk head with a factory &quot;crayon&quot; X-code under the glue. Shows X4 on this X44 code COPO/ZL1. It is fathom green paint misted over the factory gray primer so it looks to have a blue hugh to it.

We routinly check for the correct codes on these orginal body cars.

The hole is a screw hole from the added rear seat firewall. We had to unscrew the firewall to see the crayon marking.

It looks like one of my Air Force color blindness test charts.

Thank God, I passed again.

Great photos of this car. Wow.

[jannes_z-28]

On some cars the crayon marks are hidden with a lot of glue like this one, some cars have less glue and the marks are visible. On my car they went bezerk with the glue and it has even more than this one but you can see the X7 if you look hard and know what to look for.

FYI A Pace car has X0.

Still available. Open to cash offers.

I want the old transporter it was on ...
( only thing in that picture I could afford .....:) )

[Stefano]

While we haven't achieved the asking price you have been out bid by a bunch.

Please respond with offers via PM.

[njsteve]

I thought he was bidding on the transporter. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif
It is a cool rig!

[sYcYenko]

Hello. Yes, you are correct. Larry Morgan knewof this ZL1 for Years.

[66 L78 ragtop]

Just want to point out an error in the &quot;cars-on-line&quot; advertisement of this awesome ZL1

The newsletter erroneously states &quot;it has been certified to be a re-body with original tags&quot;

We all know this car is NOT a re-body, but an authentic 69 ZL1 which retains its original &quot;born with&quot; body and ZL1 glory.

Here is the link to the screw up. Nickey Chicago has already been notified.

Great story behind this car.

good job stefano!!

i see big things for you in the future :-)

[Stefano]

Thanks, I think the buyer got a really good deal on a very Kool Super Car as Captain Carl was prepared to pass the torch.

[Charley Lillard]

Somebody got a great car. Double Copo ZL1, 4 speed. I'm told the orig engine is out there. You could restore it back stock and have a killer car and probably make money on it. Great paperwork also.

The New owner is new to Super Cars and is lurking around. I'm confident he'll engage soon enough.

[Xplantdad]

Cool!

[iluv69s]

Didn't that Barrett auction/Reggie J car sell for 220k or so and it was apparently nothing real except a VIN??

This car seems like a smoking deal !! Congrats to the buyer !!

[Stefano]

Several ZL1s with known issues have done well at Barrett Jackson, in the past.

Hey Guys! My partner and I picked up the car. Still pinching myself over the whole thing. Can't wait to get her in my possession! Great History on this car. I was actually able to track down Paul Bergert and speak with him the other day. Great guy and was shocked I reached out to him. What a great story on this car!

Here's a little compilation of all the photos from the auction and threads I've been able to piece together.
Special Thanks to Stephano!

Thanks Stefano...was looking for the old thread on that car..that &quot;Reggie VIN only&quot; ZL1 sold for well over 200k...that blue rebodied ZL-1 recently fetched well over 400k if I recall....

Still surprised at the price of this car....one could still spend some $$ on this car to bring it back stock and probably come out ahead...

Welcome aboard to the new owners and again congrats !!!

[iluv69s]

wow... just watched auction again and that Reggie car sold for 290k !!! This car was a steal!!

Thanks for the pic! What year is that? About '74-'75 I'd have to guess. Any other associated pics are gladly welcomed.

Thanks for all the kuddos fellas. Not easy (for me at least) to drop a dime like that on a car, but she is captivating. There was also a little vodka involved to calm the nerves if you know what I mean. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

Not sure of the time frame, not my photo. I think your close based on the cars in the lot.
