original show car zl1

[whitetrash]

Does anyone know what ever happened to the two black w/ gold stripe show car circuit zl1s?

[HEMIBEE]

MOWTOWN KNOWS WHERE IT IS LOL

[William]

Current thinking indicates there was just one; subtle changes were made over time.

There was a ZL-1 website that had a posting of the internal Chevrolet request from Styling to the Norwood Plant for ONE 1969 Camaro to be developed as the ZL-1 show car. The second page listing the build configuration was not attached. Document was dated March or April 1969.

Dunno about the car(s)...but I have one of the ZL-1 prototype blocks that went in it.

[Charley Lillard]

How do you know it went in it ?

A post about this car goes up about once every 3 months.

I'd like to hear a whole lot more about this block http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

If this block is from Vince's ZL-1, where's the rest of the car? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I thought those pictures were of a recreation of the black and gold ZL1.

Both cars in the photos have recently manufactured BFG radial T/As on them. So either that's the recreation car or....the original car has just resurfaced and is riding on new radials. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It's a recreation car, but sure looks great.

[ANDY M]

If you look closely at the pic in front of Chevy's HQ at the GM Tech Ctr, you might notice that the car has an Ohio tag on the front.
This car was built to the COPO specs from an SS car, and has been around for over 10 years now.

[L78racer]

Notice that the background is in front of the Chevrolet bldg. on the GM tech center. The pond or lake behind the car is empty. This is fairly a recent pic. The pond/lake has been dismantled and filled and is all grass now.(I work there.)

[Kurt S]

Yup, those are pics of Al's car. I saw it in town a few years ago, haven't seen him or the car since.

[nuch_ss396]

Andy & Kurt,

I'm still trying to find Al Wallace regarding this car.
I've come up dry. Anybody know how I can get in touch with him? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif
