I said "OUTSIDE" sheetmetal drivers door was only piece saved/reused. Drivers side door is still bolted to original firewall/cowl door pillar

As other said an extensive repair.

Understood and agree...

Can I have it ?

I have seen some pretty bad carcasses resurrected compared to this one. What is really the difference is it was rusted out and several panels were replaced? NOTHING. What can you expect from a car that is 50 years old? Can I have it?

Awesome info and great to hear much more than the cowl was retained also tags never removed an important detail too!
Reusing original complete cowl + rails and structure instead of clipping the car is certainly a more difficult repair w/ a rollover and kudos to those who took the time also not going the easier/quicker/cheaper way of slipping another body under the tags.
Personal opinion - untouched examples obviously have more value but if above details true & cowl + main structure saved w/ undisturbed tags/stampings, the identity seems intact & car not a rebody also unfair if lumped in w/ examples that are exactly that?

I know this is an old post, but apparently based on this ad, the number of Zl-1’s was well known, even in 1969? This car is the last car and a May car.. Wonder when ad was made and how they knew.

I seem to recall that the number was always believed to be 50 and then Bill P got ahold of or found a second list from Vince P with another 19 VINs. ??? Is my memory incorrect?

My guess is that's a different car; notice the Z/28 emblems in the grille and on the fender.
