...was M-22, D80, U63 ZJ7, 5911 50-50 Dover White still in existence? Thought maybe I saw an article decades ago about it in a magazine, but nothing lately. Was sold new at Lyle Chevrolet in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Was in my late teens/early twenties one day reading the Classic Cars for Sale section in the Akron Beacon Journal(Akron is just south of Cuyahoga Falls)and saw an ad that read "1969 Camaro, white, aluminum engine, $3500". Will never forget that ad or the fact that I shoulda tried to buy it!!! I believe this car also had Blue interior? Got the VIN# from the published VIN #s of the ZL-1s, plus I believe it was the only Lyle Chevrolet ZL-1 built?

I'm sure there are many knowledgeable folk here who know far more about the car, but it sold at a Mecum auction back in 2011 (https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0511-10...et-zl1-camaro/) and was listed on ebay in 2015 (http://vi.vipr.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayI...m=221861075276).
Picture from the Mecum listing of it BITD:

I remember an ad in I believe a Hot Rod special edition (that I still have somewhere)I want to say 1973, that there was an ad for a ZL1 Camaro with the description of how rare it was, the last line was "Never been Tracked" I think it was a New York address and for 3500.00 at that time...

...thanks guys. It's cool to see it's still out there. Always wondered why I never went to go look at it. Probably $3500 to me back then driving $300 clunkers @ age 16/17 might as well been a million $$$.
