I respectfully disagree.He's been selling cars for decades and it was a debacle for someone like him.

What engine is in this car, is it an original ZL1 engine?

Define 'original'.

Tonawanda built 182 ZL-1 engines; 71 were used in production. There were just under 600 blocks cast; highest machining # I am aware of is 505 so scrap looks to be about 14%. The majority of machined block castings were sold to engine builders.

If it is an 052 or 053 block cast [late] in 1968 or 1969, it was part of the program.

The ads for it back in the day made no 'OE drivetrain' claim so probably just a generic resto ZL-1 engine.

I wonder what's happened with this car and how many owners it's had since it was put together. The Macneish evaluation is pretty damning.

Scrap and theft were very high.
