61 was sold out of Oklahoma, and if my memory serves me right (big IF) it was originally white.

I am almost certain I have seen a picture of it on the showroom floor.

But.... CRG is showing Fathom Green.

It is listed as being white in the May 1994 edition of the COPO Connection registry.

During restoration in 2007 it became obvious it was originally green, subsequently verified by its original owner.

So it was painted white at some point?

Tell me I am not dreaming.

No, it won't. They have had all the ZL-1 auction data needed for a decision for over six months. They just don't like it.

I have unfortunately become involved. I provided auction results for dozens of ZL-1s dating back over 15 years. In that time ONE ZL-1 Camaro auctioned over $1m and that was #59 AFTER it re-acquired its original engine. It hammered for $995,000; the buyers commission pushed it over the top. It could be said it did not sell for $1m.

The investigator ignores figures that don't agree with his narrative. The very same car sold at B-J 2018 for $770,000 when it did not have its original engine.
Another comparable sale was nom ZL-1 #60 at Mecum Kissimmee 2021; hammered for $750,000. That's a great recent example that has once again been ignored.

No genius-level investigation needed; all easily available public knowledge.

#61 will be just another data point added to the dozens they already have. If hits the number, they will use it. If it does not, they will ignore it.
