Both 33 and 52 were bought by Bob Jane, a racer and tire mart empresario from Melbourne, Australia. Bob knew of Rathman through racing circles and was aware of the ZL-1 through his close friendship with Bruce McLaren. Both cars were turned into race cars. 33 is a Hugger Orange 4-speed that became the only ZL-1 road racing car, which is a shame because it was a very potent package, winning the Australian Touring Car Championships for '71 and '72. It beat up on some factory Ford Mustangs pretty badly before being banned for '73. The car was sold, but repurchased by Jane in about 2000. Miles Johnson, a former team member from the early 70s, restored the car back to its former glory. 52 was a Dusk Blue auto that was a drag racing car. It was eventually written off and crushed, but not before the engine was retrieved. The engine from 52 now sits happily in 33.
I was lucky enough to visit with Miles and 33 in 2005.
