Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

Don't bitch about Ebay. It all could have been avoided by listing it in the parts for sale section.

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

I thought it was deleted due to head shadow.

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

The car section where the parts were listed is a flat fee catagory. You pay a $40.00 insertion fee - regardless of reserve and a $40.00 final value fee regardeless of the final price if the vehicle sells.

In the parts catagories you pay a fee based on your starting bid and a fee on your reserve based on that amount. Then if the item sells you pay a final value fee which is in the case of these ZL-1 parts would be a stepped fee.

I can tell you that e-Bay would have gotten a ton more money than $40.00 for the listing under the parts section and if the engine had sold, they would have made a pile more money than $40.00 for the final value fee.

If you are a seller don't mess with e-Bay and its fees. It is something that they are darned crappy about.

HI OR JUST SOME MORE BULL ---- WE WILL ALL NO IF IT IS NOT RELISTED??????????

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

Hopefully we may get some pictures that show something if he re - lists it.

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

Just a quick word of warning regarding eBay's value fees.They can add up so do the math. I listed a ZL-1 427 and a 69 M-22 on eBay a month or so back with a buy it now only price of 25,500.00 The listing fee was 7.25. I thought, that's cheap. It sold the next day. However, the value fee has 399.00. "Ouch" 1.56% didn't sound like much until I did the math.

Hey Steve,

Like someone mentioned later, eBay gets a lot more money for high value parts (percentage based). Cars are sold at fixed prices ($40 or so to list and $40 for the sale of the vehicle).

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

Lucky for you it didn't sell for $125,500-- it would have cost you an extra $1,500 and you would have had to pocket the extra $98,500.

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

Any more news on the status of the #66 car(s)? .

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

Here is a photo of what east coast Bill who claims to have #66 and likes building cars. His basement does contain a unmolested #s matching 70 LS6 Chevelle convert, the basement also contained until recently the Fathom Blue Deuce from the Arkansas dealer and was sold and made into a Day 2 car. The basement also contains an plain jane low mileage Cortez Silver (as #66) just waiting to be restored or upgraded to something more desireable....Hmmmm Pictures of all these can be attached in the future if anyone so desires. The attachment on this post and the next is about as odd and eccentric as it gets...

Hi,

First time at this forum, nice read. Isn't the owner of #66 Craig Jackson of Barrett Jackson?

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

Not unless he bought it in the last few weeks.

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

a Picture of the VIN would have helped but with 307 emblems and a flat hood, it doesnt fit the bill

Not to take anything away from this car,but to say it has an "unmolested engine" would be stretching it a bit.
Based on that one picture,somebody turned some wrenches.
*Incorrect Brake Master Cylinder.
*Reproduction Air Cleaner with incorrect Chrome lid.
*They never had inline fuel filters.
*Void of any T.C.S.
*Replaced Water Pump
*Missing CHEVELLE grille emblem.
*Holding headers
*Aftermarket spark plug wires
*Completely void of A.I.R.
*Somebody used a spray bomb,as the Power steering reservoir and other ornamental fixtures have Orange overspray that would hardly be considered factory procedure.
Nice to see the Fiber wheelhouse skirts,and if that radiator hose is authentic it's carrying a 4:10 posi.
Real stripe delete car?

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

This certainly backs up the fact that I am no expert in the field, from the photos it leans towards the engine having not been out of the car anytime recently. If Motown is Matt then yes that is where the photos originated from, I am his wifes brother. He will be back amoung the so called "free" population sometime this coming summer barring any further set backs. Someone asked for the photos to be posted so I was just trying to oblige.

Re: Where is ZL-1 #66?
 

Thank You for posting those pics,it is always interesting to look at them again and learn from.

I apologize for getting off topic,but to answer a question a few emailed me about what I stated above..

From my findings,beginning in 1970,when Chevelles received a 4 core radiator,(LS-6 4:10 rears automatically did),it also called out in box #47 of the Buildsheet for the same curved radiator top hose as anyother Air conditioned equipped Chevelle.
When those non LS-6 air conditioned equipped cars got that heavy duty radiator,they had to have a special top radiator hose to clear the Air conditioning compressor mounted above the steering box.This is the "SV" coded curved hose,as opposed to the "KY" straighter hose.There was no need for the included "SV" coded hose on the 1970 LS-6 Chevelle,because there would never be an A/C compressor there.
So when the assembly line was building these 4:10 4 core equipped LS-6 Chevelles,they continued with the A/C curved top hose and didn't notice/care that it didn't really need it.A straight "KY" would have done just fine.
If that top radiator hose is authentic to that particular LS-6,it can help identify the rear ratio without having to get on your hands and knees to check the rear axle tube.
But granted you shouldn't always take an owners word as verbatim,as the top hose could have easily been changed later on with an incorrect one,so double checking the axle tube code is always good insurance too.
