----Have seen this ZL1 several times at Carlisle over the years. Matter of fact we stayed at the same hotel more than one year and talked about his car at length. Absolutely the real deal!.......Bill S

Yup. I've seen that car at shows around Pittsburgh too... late 1990s maybe?

I think they built 7. There was a white one it was duntovs toy. They thrashed it at the proving grounds. Google duntovs toy for more. There was also another white one that sold new at Gus Paulos Chevrolet salt lake city Utah. They say it is in the north west now.

I wish I could fine the old thread where Larry Clain (I think that's how his last name was spelled) was talking about the blue one.

This is what Larry Clain had to say about the car he saw in Tulsa, OK in 1969 -

"I can remember so vividly seeing a Blue '69 cpe. with a window sticker showing the ZL-1 motor setting at a bodyshop here in Tulsa OK. back in the spring of '69. It had a blue interior too. I tried to find out who owned it but nobody knew for sure. Wish I had took pic of it so everybody would believe me. It didn't have any stripes on it but perhaps they were installed by the dealer when it got to the final destination.

I am sure about the color as I had a same color '68 400 hp turbo 400 cpe that I had picked up from the local salvage pool and it was still in the bodyshop at that time but almost finished. Because of the color of the coupe being the same as mine, it caught my eye and I stopped and looked it over.

It was still cold in the mornings and this was a Sat and the place where it was setting in their parking lot, was not open.

I drove back by two or three times and it was still there and then after 1 pm it was gone? Never saw it again or pursued it any farther. Wish I had. "

I found the thread where Larry (Pantera) discussed the car.

Never saw it again. It could have been used by the DX racing division. They were in and out of Tulsa all the time.

It was almost closing time and nobody was around. (yes that was tempting to a kid my age) It was gone later (6:30)when I left my aunts house a few blocks away. I had a '68 400hp th400 the same color being rebuilt from a wreck which is why this one caught my eye in the first place.

The white one was in a muscle car mag in March of 1986. At that time, the build sheet said the engine was L88 at a cost of 1032.14 with no mention of ZL1. The article also said the car was purchased "as a new car" from a broker with 900 miles on it by a gentlemen named Jack Chetaskey. The writer said that "anything" could have happened in that 900 miles and probably did and the ZL1 was probably installed at that time.
