Anyone remember this car?
 

Hi All,

I am new to this board and really appreciate the wealth of info here.

I would like to know if anyone knows any of the history of this car.
The car came from either upstate New York or north New Jersey.
I found time slips from Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey.
The car was originally Dusk Blue - 4 speed/black interior.
It appears to have been painted white, at one time and here are
pics of it's more recent color scheme:

Thanks!

Roger,

It has no documentation as far as paperwork.

I do have the original engine which matches the
VIN.

It also has the original BE rear.

I have talked to Kurt Sonen (sp)? and he says
that there is a very high probability that it is
a COPO car, based on research he has done.

According to the previous owner,
the car has no power brake booster because
it was converted over to drum brakes.

Welcome. Where did you find your COPO?

Re: Anyone remember this car?
 

You missed a digit on your VIN.

Elon,

Is this a COPO 9560 or 9561? You mentioned you have the original engine, and if this is a COPO 9560, that would be amazing to still have the factory ZL1. Or, is it a L-72?

I found the car in South Plainfield NJ, where it had
been stored in a storage container since the late
70's.

It is an L-72.

You are right, it would be AMAZING to have a ZL-1!!!
What a cool ride that would be...eh?:-)

I'd like to update this thread as it's been over a year and
I have gathered new info to add to the mix.

First of all, it has recently been documented by Jerry MacNeish
as an L72 Camaro ordered new by Malcolm Konner Chevrolet
in Paramus, NJ. The rear axle in the vehicle is the original housing
installed by the Norwood plant in June 1969.

I am still seeking information regarding the history, including
prior ownership of this car.

It has come to my attention that it may have been raced anywhere
from Atco, Englishtown, Island Raceway and/or Lebanon Raceway.

The original engine was located around the Albany, New York area,
after being separated from the car for a period of time.

The car was originally dusk blue and at some point, it was painted
white prior to its dashing brown 70's paint job.

The right front fender was replaced, at some point, so maybe
someone knows someone who could have done work on this car.

It also appears the car was run in either a Super Stock or a
Stock Eliminator Class.

Any and all leads appreciated.

Thanks!

Elon
