Re: #35 69 ZL1 Article
Jeff, MUCH THANKS for posting the article on "MY ZL-1"
 I bought the car from Rusty about 5 yrs. ago. I heard someone talking about it being for sell at the 2nd. Reunion. It's hard to believe that the car was restored 21 years ago. I bet it might have even been one of the first ZL-1's to be restored. I didn't even have it out at all last year. With having the other cars I guess I kinda forgot about it. Jeff what magazine is the article in?? I brought the ZL-1 to the 3rd & 4th Reunion's.Mark

Re: #35 69 ZL1 Article
Darren, It probably was my car. Rusty took it all over in the 80'S. I'am sure it got alot attention back then because there just were not any ZL-1's being shown.When I bought the car I met Rusty at 2 in the morning at his warehouse. He asked me if I wanted it.I didn't ask him anything about the car I just handed him the check.I couldn't believe I was getting a ZL-1.
Mark

Re: #35 69 ZL1 Article
I first remember seeing this car at Indy Super Chevy in the '80's. It was probably it's first time out and people were all over it. You had to stand in line to look at it. I remember the heater delete being the coolest thing I had ever seen on a Camaro and how it fit the car's image well. Rusty, Jay Nixon, and some others were the pioneers in COPO restoration. Another guy I remember was Mike Arnold who restored these cars early. I never thought Mike got the credit he deserved. I've always wondered what happened to Jay and Mike and their cars. I know Rusty is involved with the '62, '63 hipo big Chevys.
