ZL1 Whereabouts
 

Anyone know if this ZL1 is still around?

Great picture of Malcolm Durham's ZL1 Strip Blazer Jr!
ZL1 #42 VIN 124379N615242 was last seen in the 70's but its original engine exists today.
If you haven't seen them yet, here's a couple links to past threads w/ more info and pics...

There is reason to believe that isn't #42. Durham's ZL1 was one of the 50 Fred Gibb Chev ordered; all were X44 trim level meaning no bright drip rail trim. The car in the photo has the trim. For '69, the pillar rail on style trim cars is shorter; you can't just add the trim.

Legend has it there was a disagreement between Durham and Lustine and the car was repossessed. Original 1969 photos show Lustine sponsorship; gone in later photos.

Also vintage pics of ZL1 #4 show it ran in NHRA SS/BA. This car is in SS/E. Any NHRA historians care to comment?

Interesting info, thanks for sharing that.

The Durham car only has the drip rail moldings. none of the other trim is on it. The Price Fighter car has RS tail lights. Someone must have swapped them.

I believe this is a Lustine car. #40

Don’t know where the Camaro is.....but I do know where the Hemi-Dart “Cookie Duster” in the far lane is sleeping.
