Thank you for your response. Finally finished both threads, and I am not sure I have a clear answer.

Excluding mules and prototypes, but including pilot production ... in other words, "official production" ... there are 2.

There was 150 blocks set aside for vette production. The vettes HAD to be RPO L88 first to be ZL1s. So did others slip thru in early production os just a L88 since there records are also know to be vague? Or maybe some of the original test cars slip thru and not get crushed??? But looks like at least 3 are the know number now with Mayers auto.

Sure, there's plenty of hearsay, rumors and distant memories (also mules and prototypes). There's also dealer conversions, that may or may not be accurately reflected (or remembered) on any particular window sticker. But the official GM docs, for production ZL1s, only list 2. BUT ... if there's other official/authentic GM documents that list more than 2 production ZL1s, i'd love to see them! Last edited by lycan; 08-04-2023 at 06:08 PM. |

So, you admit to 2 and Mayers orange convert. So hiw does that become 2 with Rogers Yellow and Ex-Saydum white cars. Is that not 3 minimum? Seems that there is a bunch of onfusion around the much popular and longer running L88 info. So this very limited run of less then 10 would probably have a lot less info surrounding it.

When you consider the number of dealers the white car passed thru before it was ultimately sold, its quite likely that ... if it was indeed delivered to the first buyer with a ZL1 ... it was a dealer conversion (a conversion that the first buyer may, or may not, have been aware of).
