Don't want to get involved in any controversy...…… But...….Lets just say Buyer beware....Back in the mid 2000's I was down in Kissimmee for the Nova Mini-Nats and ended up talking to a person that had just rebuilt a ZL 1 engine..... after talking for a while I was told that the original #15 car was pretty much destroyed and the new owner had removed all the hidden Vin #'s and had them welded into another body.....This person told me that the welding was non detectable from either side...… So....Just say'in if you are interested do your Home work....

I remember you relaying that story to me. As I recall it wasn't clear to me if the shop doing the work was doing the rebody with the owners knowledge. I think I even mentioned it somewhere and heard from the owner and I relayed what you had told me. If the # sections were hammer welded in properly you would not be able to tell unless you stripped paint off and looked at the raw grain of the sheetmetal.

There are other 'tells' to look for on a suspected re-body.

Im sure its my monitor, but that color doesnt look quite right to be Cortez Silver.
…
… Has anyone ever inspected this car ?
:dunno:

Not doubt a shame if a rebody but w:no:w if it happened w/o the owner's knowledge.

"Restored back to original condition using GM parts or restored NOS parts"
That is similar language to what was used when the other rebodied ZL1 was sold at Barrett-Jackson. Seems to be the new way of disclosure of a rebody. They did use a GM body. I'm just not sure how much it matters anymore.

I think it would matter if you can prove it’s NOT a rebody. The real question is pricing; the column shift auto stalled in the high threes, so where will this one go???

Looks like it has a green tint to me as well...……...
...
... I was at the Lakeland Auto Show in 2017 and took a few photos of the car then.
… I Believe the gentleman that owned the car was Ron Saulnier
… and lived in Spring Hill, Fl.
… but I do not know if that is the person that owns it now.
… Here are some photos I took...

Makes you lose faith in the Pedigree of the True cars that are out there...… Maybe I should buy my old 70 Nova back and jump up and down claiming it's a real car...….LOL......Pathetic !!!!

Does anyone actually know for certain it's a rebody though? Is there any actual proof before we all attempt to form a cloud around the car? Has anyone actually inspected this car? JM report perhaps? Other photos of the car floating around?
Obviously brought good money. So the speculated rebody either isn't known, or some people feel it's just that, speculation? For some maybe that's not enough.
I think the former Reggie Jackson owned green ZL1 #27 at BJ next Saturday night might be a better example of price reflection on a known rebody.
Not meant to start controversy, just an unbiased outside observation. Interesting stuff.
