69 Zl1 Corvette

[Pro Stock John]

At 8.55 minutes in this video, the person talking about this collection says this Camaro is 1 of 2 ZL1 street cars, whichi I recall being discussed in another thread on here:

That's Al's old car, was an SS350. The clone build was documented on one of the early email lists back in the late 90's.

That VIN is different that what Kurt references above....so there are at least 2 ZL-1 clones that are black and gold?

We’re the original 2 from gm accounted for or destroyed. Just looked at a pic in Michael lamm’s the great Camaro book.

Per Chevrolet docs, only one ZL-1 show car was built. They made small styling changes during its time in the sun. Not known to exist.

I think the other prototype was also at Pavilions as well-was discovered in Australia (I could be remembering wrong though?

Here's the car in a later iteration...at Pavilions in 2012. It just came up in my Facebook memories...They changed the front fascia and the rear window area to "make it" a 1976...

This article lists, "perhaps 4 or 5 in existence".

Been researched extensively. Chevy 1969 Production totals show 2 built.

[1967Z28]

Production totals also say no 1967 427/425hp SS427 Impalas were made but John Hinckley got one brand new. GM Proving Ground engineer Dave Horchler told me he drove a '69 ZL1 Corvette that was new and it was not one of the two that exists today.
