Owner would like to see it reunited with the chassis. I have heard for decades that it survives in unrestored condition. I am not a broker; convince me you own 124379N608969 and I will provide contact information.


Great find !!! Hope it gets reunited with the original car ! The COPO connection website had the car listed as sold by Van T Chevy in Kansas and owned by a Barbara P.

I assume many of the original engines ended up like this one. It is similar story to the original engine from my old #34 ZL-1. When I found the engine at summer Carlisle, it was painted orange and only original parts were the heads. Internals were 454. Engine had roller cam and had gear drive. It had been in a circle track car and had the offset oil pan. Block had winters snowflake ground off also. Racer apparently didn’t want anyone to know it was a ZL-1. Block was decked but still had partial VIN by oil filter.
