I don't know, but I can get you the email of the owner of Huffman at that time...he is pretty good about replying, however the last time I talked to him in August he was busy remodeling his house, so depending on how that is going may depend on the response time.

The CS ZL1 is/was in the McGruder collection. The HO ZL1 is/was listed as wrecked.

I'm VERY late on this post,BUT... My Maroon/White houndstooth 68 RS Z/28 was sold new at Huffmans Chev. I obtained my shipper invoice and orig bill of sale from Jerry Huffman, the owners son. Jerry ordered all the performance cars of that era. I quizzed him about the ZL1s. the silver one is restored and in an Arizona collection. The orange one was wrecked and destroyed in Bloomington, Il early on. I'm pretty sure I had the intake/carb from that car at one time and my buddy had the block and heads. Jerry said at least one car (maybe both) swallowed a valve and got a warranty block.I think Jerry is still playing with cars.

Does Jerry have any shipper copies from other models, such as Impalas, Bel Air Biscayne?

Steve, I don't remember the extent of the paperwork Jerry had saved, he told me he had saved the paperwork of the performance cars the dealership had sold. I personally saw about an inch thick folder of Camaro paperwork, mostly Z/28s. Many Camaros with awesome color combinations. A Fathom Blue 68 Z/28 with Bright Blue interior comes to mind. I think there was also a Black 69 with gold or silver stripes, I don't remember the details on that one though.
