Actually a ZL-1 clone would be pretty tame looking. They only had a little extra paint on the L-88 style hood to set them apart from a stock '69 BB vette with a L-88 hood.

Unless he could find a real alum motor which would make a lousy street motor he would be better off picking up on something more fun like a mid-year grandsport clone.

68-73 year vettes were not the distinctive looking cars that cloners want to emulate. A 69 Yenko Camaro would be a much better choice for a clone in the price range he is working in.

I wish him good luck in his endeavor no mater what way he goes. Tough to chose sometimes.

If I was him I would try to buy a 70-73 Z-28 while they are still in the lower price range and have a streetable "real" collector car that will appreciate in value.
