The highest verified ZL-1 body number is on #60; #326262. They just used the next higher number. VIN tag looked fine to me.
It was definitely Fathom green, lots of original paint found during the resto. Was not built with D80. Lid flunked the close test, both rods were the same size.
As for the engine, all lots are sold as described by their consignor. The block has a matching VIN. The car got a lot of attention and attracted strong bidding. The resto is over 15 years old and looked great.
Have had a few questions about ZL-1 #68, owned by Craig Jackson since the '80s. Saw him in the main exhibit hall Friday morning and asked him about it. Couldn't have been nicer. Pulled out his phone, showed me pics of the restoration and the docs. He mentioned the controversy over its original straight-neck radiator. Told him it is unusual but there are a very few other COPOs with one, including a car within a day or so of his.
