This is how it started life on the drag strip.

Can you make out what the lettering is on the Q panel ? Any other early shot's ?

Thanks Mike

Looks like it states: Lavery Chevrolet

This was the original selling dealership. From what I understand, looks like the car's original owner was the manager of this dealership. Hence the advertisement on the quarter panel.

The steel on this car is amazing. Solid as the day it was produced. The trunk has the full floor with mini tubs added. The floor boards are solid and there is no evidence of any rust or patching. The car has only lived on the race track. It can't have many miles on it. She is quite captivating.

Was your ZL1 called &quot;Chevy Thunder&quot; back in 69?

Orlando's got the info correct as we know it; Lavery Chevrolet.

There are later photos in the old for sale thread, but that one seems to be the earliest I could find.

There's a little Ohio Pride in #65 and here's a little bit of the Lavery livery......
