Default Hechler ZL-1 info needed

I am in need of some help concerning the 2 ZL-1's that were ordered by Hechler Chevrolet (Richmond,VA) and then DX's to Courtesy Chevrolet. I am really interested in determing what VIN's the cars were and where the cars are now (if known). If the cars are known I might be able to assist the owners, as I am good friends with the then owner/current owner of the dealership. For those not familiar with Hechler, they were the main Corvette dealer/supercar dealer here in Richmond. The yellow ZL-1 'vette and a couple of COPO's were sold there. Any help appreciated.

Do you know the color of the ZL1s and date sold? This will help with process of elimination using the ZL1 production data.

I was told one of the cars was blue, not sure of the other color, or even if it is right. I spoke to a good friend, who incidentily sold the ZL-1 'vette new, and he thought one was blue. Like he said though, that was a long time ago.. I didn't know if anyone might know.

I am assuming that the 'blue' you are referring to is Dusk Blue, and not Lemans Blue since I don't see any of them going to VA or to Courtesy. There was one Dusk Blue ZL1 that was sold out of Tamson Chev in Danville, VA and it is alive and well. In fact, it was the USCC giveaway car back in the early '90's. There is a website somewhere with the car on it, with soundbites of the engine running. The car came has it's original B.O.S. from Tamson, but maybe it was dx'd from Hechler.

William are these the two VIN's I'm looking for? Is the garnet red car the car with red interior? Is that the car that was once owned by Floyd Garrett? I know he owned a L71 '67 'vette that was red on red, that was sold at Hechler.

Both VINs shown were Hechler cars. The red car had a red interior, spent much of its life in MD. Ed Cunneen restored it and sold to Holub.

I have a window sticker copy for the orange car.

Garretts' ZL1 was 124379N642835 and had a black interior.

I believe the Red Red one is now in Canada and the Orange one is in Az.

Does anyone know the owners? If so, I'd love to be put in touch with them through private email or phone numbers. TIA

I also heard from someone at one of our local cruises that the Red on Red ZL1 is now owned by someone in Toronto. This discussion came up because Legendary was doing some work on a Silver ZL1 which now belongs to someone up here.
