1969 Camaro ZL-1 #51
Apologies if this is a rehash, but is this white ZL-1 going to pull the big bucks now that it has the original engine, even though the engine had a "catastrophic failure"? Does anyone know the extent of the engine damage, and what type of repair was made? I thought this car was discussed a couple years ago on this site, but couldn't find the thread.

Re: 1969 Camaro ZL-1 #51
The way things read suggests the block consists of original and reproduced sections joined together..
<span style="font-style: italic">"...the block and reproduced section machined to the closest possible tolerances and the two made whole by advanced TIG welding..."</span> Obviously the original section includes the stamped deck surface but the bigger the better also hopefuly it's larger than the other piece!.

" With the real original block now back in the Camaro after almost forty years"
"...and now, of course, the real original ZL1 engine." before it only had the ORIGINAL engine, now that ORIGINAL engine is <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">REAL</span></span></span> so, the story tellers before were lying?

Not knocking the car or the confusion of wrong under hood photo, but please, let's proof read the ads...
"The real original block, which had suffered catastrophic failure during a water burnout <span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">on its maiden test </span>run</span>.." HIGHLIGHTS <span style="font-weight: bold">- Original raced engine in the car "</span> it can't be both [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] |

Re: 1969 Camaro ZL-1 #51
If My memory serves me right this was the car that Reggie Jackson tried to sell at Barrett-Jackson the last year that they had a reserve with the Original Block in the trunk!!! He was Booo'd off the stage when he wouldn't drop the reserve and sell it for 600K, that was 2004 . They didnt show that on Speed !!!!!
