Thanks for all the posts guys!! I was told that a guy named Mitch in KY may know of a car like this one but i have not got in touch with him as of yet. My dads car was found with a small block and missing some pieces and painted a different color :-( according to what he told Mike.The car would be fairly easy to ID i think with the POP and the welding underneath that my dad did (almost signature) and slight folds to the quarter in fron of the tire for the bigger tires etc..

I distinctly remember a new burnished brown ZL1 on the showroon floor at Merollis Chev. It was sitting right in front of the parts counter. It was no console, no vinyl top. I can't be sure if it had a spoiler or if it was an RS. That sticker price was a real shocker in those days. It sat there for quite a while.

There were no Burnished Brown ZL1 cars.
Merollis did have the distincion of having the most ZL1's stolen off of their lot. None were ever recovered.

No burnished brown?? My bad. Maybe my distinct memory confused it with a dark green? I don't know the real name for the green; but could it have been?

I thought I gave you Mitch Moore's contact information a year or 2 ago. I know he had a brown COPO for sale at one point, but not sure if it was an RS car.

Jeff, i seem to recall you giving me his info but i cant remember if i actually talked to him.I have spoke to many over the years and never kept notes.I will try to keep notes this time in hopes of not bothering the same ppl with the same ole questions.Thanks again for your help, its you guys that keep my dreams of finding the ole girl alive!!

M Moore has the brown RS COPO that went to Arizona in trade toward a yellow ZL1. It sold a couple years ago. The seller was S Brewski.

Not quite all - #11 was recovered a year or so later and has been in Ohio since.

Thanks Charley!!, i know Mr Brewski's car he contacted me several years back and we discussed it. His car is gorgious to say the least but unfortunately for me its not my dads car

however i at least have the answer as to whether Mitch's car could be the one. Thanks again,
