Thanks,

Gary (muscle_collector) I was thinking again about our conversation yesterday and have to think the text and e-mail you got were the result of too many uncle-brother-cousin once had stories. That when these guys get confronted with an actual recollection from a no bull kind of guy like yourself, they naturally find it hard to believe.

For those of you who don't know Gary, here's a picture that I'm pretty sure has been posted here before (probably by Steve Hoog), it's Gary's garage taken years ago. Just so you know what you are looking at, at least one of those TA's is a IV, the blue convertible with the black top is the 71 4spd Judge Convertible Milt restored in it's day-2 Cadillac hue and correct me if I'm wrong but was that your 69 TA convertible under the white cover in the back that Rob now has?

If Gary tells a story, you can damn well bet it's true.

So what is the consensus now on number of ZL1 Vette's?

1 Yellow (Rogers)
1 White (Chestaky)
1 Orange (GULF car)
1 Blue now (Larry Cain mentioned)

That's 4.

+1 Duntov's White car that was supposed to be trashed.
+1 That Muscle Collector posted about in post #33 that was crashed.

So that would be 6 of the mentioned 7 duskblue mentions in post #13. So I was wondering, maybe some of these cars were NOT supposed to leave GM and go to the crusher? Like Dontov's car.

Yes, that's correct.

The '64 2+2 is more like an Impala SS than a GTO. In 1965, it truly became a performance package.

Sorry Gary, I thought in the post #33 that the body was thrashed and therefore gone, and that's how you got the motor? If so, my mistake.

Just trying to find out as much as I can about these cars. I'm involved with a shop in Ontario and were getting a rece deal going where rules (which are NOT finalized yet) will be fairly open, but MUST use factory STEEL wheels and MUST use dual plane intake. I have a nice set-up now with my '69 Nova and the ZL-1 in it. But would like to get a nice '69 Vette roller and do a "cloned" '69 ZL-1 Vette. Interior color will end up dictating the outside color, but if I have a choice I would go gold with tan interior. It would get the black strip like Roger's yellow ZL-1, but add the Motion style black around the back and down the center to the hood.

Looking for a A/SA or even older SS chassis.

ok I might be getting confused, sorry, I thought you were talking about ones built new. yes the one I got the engine out of was destroyed. what I was saying was it has to be the one larry was talking about being sold here or being here in tulsa back when new or fairly new. sorry if I got things twisted on that.

Some guy Eubanks has apparently had this in his 100+ car collection for decades in North Carolina. Saw a Hagerty video today with Tom Cotter and while the camera passed over it, Cotter never even acknowledged its presence....makes me wonder, L88 or....

----My 69 435hp Corvette, bought new from Ed Stinn in Cleveland, had a factory L88 hood installed within weeks of the purchase date. I had to trim the air cleaner hole in the bottom for clearance of the triangular air cleaner...….Bill S
