Re: 1969 zl1 stories of the stolen or destroyed cars??
I was told by someone I know that he found a wrecked ZL1. The story as I was told was that in the early 70s the kid who owned it hit a tree at a high rate of speed, pushed the eng back thru the firewall killing the kid in the process. The car sat out in a field till he bought it recently. He has had someone refabricate the firewall and rebuild the salvageable block. Last time I talked to the owner it was being restored. I'm betting the car will surface next January.

Re: 1969 zl1 stories of the stolen or destroyed cars??
Thinking of this from an impact/damage standpoint, I'd like to see some pictures of the before, during, and after process. I'd almost think that kind of impact would tear the front stub out, or fold the firewall/frt pillars, up, down, or sideways. If possible please have the owner share pictures of the rebuild.It would be very interesting.

Re: 1969 zl1 stories of the stolen or destroyed cars??
Just received my diecast from Supercar Collectables yesterday...AWESOME 1969 Camaro...probably the best I've seen.It blows away the GMP Penske cars and only the Creative Masters 1/20 scale from Revell comes even close...
Really,truly a nice piece.Paid $130.
