Default Berglund Chevrolet (Roanoke, VA) ZL1

I was in Roanoke this past weekend participating in a shipmate's retirement. Had some time on Sunday morning to have breakfast with Wayne Tuck, the original owner of my Black/Red L78 Chevelle. We got to talking about HiPo cars back in the day, and he told me of a '69 Lemans Blue (possibly Dusk Blue) ZL1 Camaro that Berglund Chevrolet (Roanoke, VA) had on their lot. It was the buzz in town back then. Word was at the time that it was putting out 600 horses! Wayne went and looked at it and said "the price of that car was more than a Corvette!" It was not in the showroom but out on the lot. The car did not sell for a long time. A fellow came into the dealership one day and made an offer on the aluminum engine and Berglund took the offer. They dropped a BB (presumbably a 396) in it and the car sold. 'Spect some of you have heard of this. Any more info on it? These folks are still around.
