...after King and I beat him like a bad dog..he was trying to run away. Do I really need to start changing Motions signature now ? It will be a very long winter.

Would the 1969 ZL1 SUPERCAR Camaro bring in more money than a 1969 ZL1 non-SUPERCAR Vette at auction?

based o the fact that 2 of the corvettes were made vs 69 or so camaros , the corvette would bring more money hands down. Although personally id prefer the camaro. If there were 69 of each made, the camaro would demand more money strange as it seems.

------King,,,That number of 2 has been around for ever and for a long time had been generally grudgingly accepted. However it is now known beyond dispute that there were at least 4 delivered into customer hands and as many as 7 built overall. 3 of the 4 Customer delivered cars are out there in the public for all to see (1 with the original owner) and the 4th Im guessing will be out of long term storage sometime in the next 2 years......Bill S

This is (new) news to me. How long has this been known?

------The yellow one (Roger Judskis) and the white one (Kevin Suydams) are pretty well established. There is also a pretty well known Monaco Orange convert that I believe the original owner still has. It has been to Corvette Carlisle more than once. The fourth is still a bit of a wild card and I cant go any further than that. It wouldnt be fair to the parties concerned at this time, but I have been assured by a very creditable source that it does exist. As far as the other three go,,,honestly not sure how many there were as they were probably cut up. There are many pictures of Zora in an automatic ZL1 coupe. I think it was white. There also would have been at least one 4-speed, but probably more like two,,,hence the figure of seven. The factory test cars are a bit of educated guesswork, but since they were probably crushed, we will never know.
------The same arguement comes up about the two 67 Corvettes with 36 gallon tanks that were supposedly the only two made. We have found that figure to also be a bit out of whack as there has been proof of other 67 tankers (2) that have been destroyed that posatively had big tanks installed at the factory.
------It seems that the published figures that came originally from GM are not always 100% correct but close......Bill S

Bill S., I agree with your post as being factual. Keep us posted on the unknown/undiscovered ZL1. Do you know what color it is? I heard that it is blue.
