Way back when I was chasing ZL-1s I called Huebner Chev and spoke with the new car manager. He clearly remembered the car because of the price and the difficulty they had selling it. He thought they had added some striping and wheels to help sell it. It finally did sell and came back with a blown engine a day or two later. Chevy warrantied it with a complete crate engine, not just a short block as was the practice.

I spoke with some previous owners and still have a personal letter from one of them. It knocked around Ohio [literally] for a few years and was somewhat parted out; trans is in IL. Someone bought the remains over 20 years ago and it has not been heard of since.
