‘
Unloading more pics off my old system, these are ZL1 #56 so this thread seemed the best place for them. As much as I understand, the Original Owner was Dennis Whitestone who named it ‘Warlock’ then his wife Carol Henson raced it for a few years before her success w/ Funnycars they also named Warlock too. #56 was then sold to Tom Sabo who had Jerry Billig drive it w/ the Juice Machine name as pics above/below then it went through a few more owners until it surfaced/was recognized as the beginning of this thread. Anyone please correct/add more info also love to hear if Original Engine saveable/back w/ the car yet etc. ~ Pete .

#56 was one of the few ZL-1's to actually say ZL-1 on it
Chevy was trying to make race cars without looking like they were making race cars |

In other photos , the "ZL-1" was not on the fender.
I have read some interesting stories about how Vince Piggins was really pushing the dealers to race a ZL-1 in 1969. He went around helping to put together a dealer with a big name driver including Funny Car drivers. Vince would also show the dealers how they can make a lot of money selling hi po parts by running a drag car with a lot of viability at the local track Vince also helped out some of the racers using the engine warranty program. One guy said they blew a ZL-1 engine and Vince sent them a new complete engine. He was surprised because normally they gave you a hard time on engine warranty if they knew you were racing the car. |
