Yes, going off Saturday evening prime-time. They are doing some group of 50 special cars supposedly not interrupted by commercials. I'm in there I'm told.
Should be exciting, always is Saturday night.

George,
Good luck with the sale. This was one of the most original ZL1 Camaros to surface years ago. Ed C. told me he should have bought the car; original paint, original spirals, etc. The January sale should be exciting!

50 cars in a row without commercials???? Sounds to good to be true. Seems they're lucky to go 3 without commercials. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

William,
Yes you are correct, the # 6 ZL1 is the really original car I was thinking of. The # 9 ZL1 was advertised in the '06 Barrett Jackson sale as a rebody restored to # 1 condition. Sorry to confuse the two cars.

All ZL1s are very significant cars, IMO and many have lived very hard lives.

The information which has existed prior about this particular ZL1 is different than the info presented today.

This was a very nicely restored car when I first saw it in 2006. I was told that the collector who bought it at that time took it to his home in Texas and kept it in a climate controlled environment, until he recently sold it this year.

I think there needs to be some clarification about this particular ZL1 and what has changed about it's prior history?



How does a car go from being disclosed as a rebody directly from the guy who found and restored it years ago to an original body car with 1/4 panels changed out today?

The info below is from this site as reported by I believe 'Sports Car Market Place'.


&quot;7. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 coupe

Sold at $486,000
