The guy that bought that car bought two ZL-1s from Rathmann. The other car was turned into a road racing car that won the Australian touring car championship in 1971. He recently found it and had it restored to its road racing glory, with the engine from the destroyed drag racing car. If you search the web for Bob Jane, you'll find lot's of references. They've recently come out with models of the car, etc. I've got a signed slot car model...

I was told by someone I know that he found a wrecked ZL1. The story as I was told was that in the early 70s the kid who owned it hit a tree at a high rate of speed, pushed the eng back thru the firewall killing the kid in the process. The car sat out in a field till he bought it recently. He has had someone refabricate the firewall and rebuild the salvageable block. Last time I talked to the owner it was being restored. I'm betting the car will surface next January.

Thinking of this from an impact/damage standpoint, I'd like to see some pictures of the before, during, and after process. I'd almost think that kind of impact would tear the front stub out, or fold the firewall/frt pillars, up, down, or sideways. If possible please have the owner share pictures of the rebuild.It would be very interesting.
