The white car has been ruled-out as one of the "2" regular production cars ... it was built too early, before the first/pilot production ZL-1 vette was built.


Of course, this "official number" (2) does not include: mules, prototypes, dealer conversions, or any cars converted or "hand built" (after production) with OTC ZL-1 engines.

Ok, do you have colors of these "official" ZL1's? We all agree on Roger's Yellow being legit, but your saying the EX Kevin Saydum WHITE is a fake?

And what about the orange GULF/ John Mayer/ YENKO involved convert??

The yellow & orange cars are, far and away, the two most likely candidates for the 2 RPO (regular production) 1969 ZL-1 corvettes.


Unfortunately, no known Chevrolet documents list the VIN numbers of the 2 RPO cars.

When the orange car was being auctioned there were quite a few discussions on the various Corvette forums....Lots of really fascinating reading on the ZL1 program!

The yellow car is really the only car I believe is beyond question at this time.

Sadly the building it was retail delivered from (Hechler) was recently torn down to make way for a car wash. At one point back in early 2000's there was some discussion about having the yellow car brought up and displayed at then Patrick Chevrolet (Hechler building) but unfortunately nothing became of it.

Little known Chevy trivia....Hechler is the only dealer to have had both types of 1969 ZL1 cars.

For a very long time, i've found it funny (ironic? or sad?) that we know the VINs of the 69 Camaro ZL-1 COPO cars (thanks to the efforts of my friends Bill Porterfield and Bill Glowacki, also Fred Gibb, Vince Piggins, and many others) ... but we still don't know the VINs of the 2 Corvette ZL-1 RPO cars! (with any real certainty)
