This is a very low mileage car, but to my knowledge it doesn't have it's original engine. It was restored by Floyd Garrett back in the mid 80's and I saw it at the Super Chevy Sunday in Indy soon after it was restored. It was featured in the January 1987 issue of Super Chevy and the November 1999 issue of Muscle Car Review.

I believe every Indian River COPO I’ve seen has had an Endura bumper, including my own HO car. There have been several just in this thread.

Special front bumper, sport-styled steering wheel, air spoiler equipment, rally wheels.

Here are some more pictures of ZL-1 #35. This car was purchased new at Sutliff Chevrolet in Harrisburg PA by D. Leesman. The spoilers and Rally wheels were dealer added. Rusty Symmes was the second owner of this car and he restored it in the early '80's. I remember seeing it at the Super Chevy Show in Indy soon after it was restored. Rusty also raced it in the Muscle Car Shootout sponsored by Muscle Car Review around this time as well. It ran 12.70's and was one of the faster cars. This car has a little over 8K miles and does not have it's original engine. Mark Hassett has owned it for a number of years now and had it on display at the Good Guys Show in Columbus in '19.

#178 This is ZL-1 #62 and was purchased new by Johnny Tripp at Colonial Chevrolet in Norfolk VA. It may have been a dealer trade from Hechler Chevrolet in Highland Springs VA. This is the only Garnet Red ZL-1 with a red interior. A number of years ago there was a very nice clone of this car built that supposedly had the original engine from this car in it. I don't know that the engine was ever verified to be the original engine from this car though. This car was a part of Buddy Herin's collection and was sold at Mecum Dallas in '13. Tim Schell had this car at the Good Guys Show in Columbus in '19 where it was nominated as a Muscle Car of the Year Finalist.

Peter Klutt from Legendary Motor Car sold this one time, he did a TV review of the car.

Very cool car!!!

I have always wondered about that clone with the original engine from this car.... buy both and make the clone a total clone.

As I remember the story the guy that had the engine wanted to buy the car, but the guy who owned it wouldn't sell. When the guy who owned the engine couldn't buy the car he built the clone. I saw the clone once at an ISCA show and it appeared to be a very well done car. I believe the clone ended up in Todd Werner's collection. I mention the clone to Tim one time when I talked to him. I believe he had heard about the clone but wasn't sure about the engine being the original one out of #62.

The clone was for sale on-line a few years ago. The pics they posted at the time were not of a production ZL-1 Camaro engine.
