Default Re: Question on Motion Corvette gas cap

Joe I'm still in Phoenix at Barrett Jackson auction; just now checking this post using my laptop computer. The original owner of my ZL-1 is still alive. I am in contact with him regularly. He is the Internal Revenue District Director for the five Western states. He bought the car new, and has been a wealth of information for me. The Window sticker mentioned in this Topic by Daryl was a reproduction; made for display purposes by Otis Chandler, when it belonged to him. I asked Jack about the original GM factory window sticker to which he responds he remembers very well the original window sticker, i.e. the Zl-1 motor option as he says quote: " there was no mistaking that as it essentialy doubled the price of the car". When I asked him about the stripes; he responded that they were on the car when he bought it, but they were not listed on the window sticker. I have the above statements on notorized affadavits from him on his IRS letterhead. My assumption is that the stripes were dealer applied. Any way Jack had this ZL-1 for just under two years, raced it most of his ownership. I have original race programs, race photos, and the contract he had with a racer named Woody Walcher and Associates race team. Woody is still alive and confirms the above as well. Jack traded the Zl-1 for another Vette in late 1970 not knowing there were only two ZL-1's made and what significance it was destined to be.
