ZL-1 #29 was another Harrell built light weight gutted fiberglass nose match race drag car campaigned by Grady Bryant , owned by Bill McKay Chevrolet
Grady Bryant and Dick Harrell were friends and both raced Funny Cars
Grady wrote a book called "Match race Madness"
If the Harrell ZL-1 drag test was ZL-1 #1 and #2 then Harrell had at least five ZL-1s
#1, #2, #5, #15 and #29
Who better to sell $7000 Camaro Drag cars then a Nationally known Funny Car driver who has a shop building Camaros and was in all the drag racing magazines.
I had saved this screen shot of a FB post from Grady Bryant and a reply where a guy said he remembers 25 ZL-1s at the Harrell shop.
I don't know if its true but I have seen multiple comments saying Harrell had a bunch of ZL-1s come through his shop. I know Harrell also built some COPO L72 Camaros so hard to say how many ZL-1s.
