Number 62 ZL-1
 

I was at a car show in Chattanooga on Sunday, and there was a very nice ZL-1 clone. The guy was hard to talk to, but he said he got the original # 62 engine from a guy in Florida, and built the clone around it. Garnet Red with red interior.

He said # 62 was in Canada. Just curious if any of you guys had any additional info on the car or engine.

Not too long ago, Peter Klute on Dream Car Garage (Speed Vision) had a 5 minute segment on the original car (which is in Canada). I taped it and have it with a collection of other shows on COPO cars. Peter Klute stated that it was the only triple red ZL1 ever produced. I am sure you could probably log on to Speed Vision and possibly order the tape on this car.

Wouldn't triple red indicate it had a red vinly top?..BKH

I don't really know anything about this car. I just always understood the wording "triple" in car terms meant that the interior, body and vinyl top were all the same color. I have never heard of a red top ZL/1 thats all...BKH

Brian,
I was agreeing with you. Just a minor detail that it has 2 red 'components' and is called a triple.

Re: Number 62 ZL-1
 

I saw the car on Dream Car Garage and they said the car was stolen and recovered with the engine gone

Re: Number 62 ZL-1
 

I saw this car in Louisville last year and met johnny. Very nicely done car. He said he offered the motor to the guy who owns the real car and he would not meet his price so he built a cloned one to match it. He did add a console and guages that the original doesn't have. This car is put together with all Goodmark sheetmetal. The gaps were then leaded and they look good. Hard to tell its aftermarket sheetmetal
