White ZL1 corvette

[Schonyenko2]

I talked to the original owner of the X22 H/O camaro that had the ZLX motor in it earlier this week. He had bought the camaro through Mills chev in Moline Ill. He was good friends with one of the salesmen there, and would get calls to stop by and drive the new hipo cars that would come in. He claimed to have driven a white ZL1 corvette that had been shipped in from a Chicago dealer that couldn,
t sell the car. So could the white ZL1 that is known have been in Moline at that time?

[Mr70]

I don't know Ken.
Could he have meant a ZR-1?
I have met a few guys claiming they saw or touched a ZL-1 Corvette back in the day,only to realize they were describing the LT-1 350 engine listed under the off road package RPO ZR-1.

The salesman told him it was an aluminum motor. It had a hood on it that was open to the rear, as he said when they drove it it was spraying a little gas on the windshield. He said for a corvette it was not very nice, but scary fast. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Let's see: aluminum engine, odd hood and scary fast. YEP! Sounds like a ZL-1.

The white ZL-1 Corvette has an interesting history surrounding it. Jack Cheskaty ordered it and it was delivered by the Gordon Wilson agency to a Magnasun Motors in Utah. This car arrived with 100 miles on it and it was supposed to be a new car. The owner was quite shocked to see the mileage. There is a lot controversy surrounding this cars pedigree as a factory optioned ZL-1.

Well let's see here. 100 miles on the odometer of a new
ZL-1 Corvette. How many joy rides did that add up to? Wonder
if they were dealer added miles or Woodward Ave added miles ( err... quarter miles )http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

I was wondering if a ZL1 vette would bring in the most at Auction nowadays.

[PhilS]

Should be the most valuable production Chevy.

[SS454Elky]

At the risk of taking this thread off topic, which would have more value, the ZL1 Corvette or the '65 Chevelle Z16 convertible if it were to be found?

2 ZL1's vs. 1 Z16 'vert.

...or would the Z16 be more comparable to the '68 Z28 convertible?

...just curious.

I can tell you I had the pleasure of racking up about a dozen or so miles on one of those new fangled corvettes this week. not sure if it is scary fast because it sticks like glue while pulling like a space shuttle. you really only need half of those gears to kill yourself or get locked up.

Chris,

Are you referring to the Z06?

I don't know if it would or not, however one of the real ZL-1 Corvettes did sell for 1.7 million in a private sale.

[Canucklehead]

1.7 mill, that sounds about right, would that make it the highest priced GM?, and would the Supersnake Cobra be classed as the highest valued ford, or is that one considered aftermarket?. Maybe one of the original GT40's. Not sure what they're going for these days.

The SuperSnake was devalued once Charley took ownership. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Can-I-Have-It.gif

I think the sticker said almost 70g, salesman said 400hp?
I dont think it was the top dog.
when I got the key (which you dont have to use, its a push button) I didnt ask too many questions. I just asked for a vert with a stick and took off. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Does the other ZL1 Vette still exist?

[Kim_Howie]

What color were the two ZL-1 Corvettes Yellow and white?? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[Chevy454]

Last I knew, the yellow ZL1 'Vette is with Roger Judski in Florida, white one is at the opposite end of the country with Kevin Suydam in Seattle...
