All ZL1s are very significant cars, IMO and many have lived very hard lives.

The information which has existed prior about this particular ZL1 is different than the info presented today.

This was a very nicely restored car when I first saw it in 2006. I was told that the collector who bought it at that time took it to his home in Texas and kept it in a climate controlled environment, until he recently sold it this year.

I think there needs to be some clarification about this particular ZL1 and what has changed about it's prior history?



How does a car go from being disclosed as a rebody directly from the guy who found and restored it years ago to an original body car with 1/4 panels changed out today?

The info below is from this site as reported by I believe 'Sports Car Market Place'.
