I had the privilege to see Ken take his 69 ZL1 COPO down the quarter mile at SCR8. There is one pass I will never forget, and it will always be a great memory. Great car and history, and a great owner. Awesome, totally awesome.

That was indeed an exciting pass.

Not enough can be said about the man, his wife and his career. Good people and great for the hobby.

It is indeed an awesome car...and quite a gentleman of an owner. Shall we mention *someone* who fell off the wall at the track?

By the way, are we going to get a write up, Rob?

What can be said about the car and its owner except THANKS for doing what you do best Ken, Bringing it out for all to see and watch as you take it down that 1/4 mile. The lettering on the rear QTRs say it all " <font color="red"> it's somethin' else </font> " so very true! Again Thanks.

Jeff,

It would be cool for people not familiar to know where he bought the car...how much it was new...some cool memories of the car that he has...whether it's always been a race car or was it ever street driven...you know, stuff like that.

I know the answers to some of those questions, but I'm sure people would like to know. It would make fascinating reading

I agree w/ Bruce. Would someone in the know please do a write up on this Awesome piece of history for people like myself who have never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Barnhart. I would love to hear some history.

Hopefully, one day I will have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Barnhart and see his car make a pass at a Super Car reunion.

I've been itchin' to do a feature on this car for some time, as this car is *special* to me...from being in the opposite lane from it and watchin' it do it's thing up close, or breathin' in the history of this thing while it's sitting still, to Ken givin' me crap about my lazy lights...THIS is why I'm this hobby! Had I been around in '69 and had the resources, the path would've been eerily similar...same color, same build, heck probably even the same tow rig! Words can't describe how deep this car goes with me...simply awesome...
