Gibb ZL-1 4-speeds had an MSRP of $7269.35. Automatics were $7,364.70. None of the 69 production cars were black.

Have to wonder about the Dick Harrell connection. #12 is on the Gibb dealership ledger as being shipped back to Norwood May 24, 1969. From there, it had to be re-invoiced to another Chevrolet dealer.

Of the ZL-1 engines known to have been replaced under warranty [#55 & #67] both original blocks still exist. Jerry Huffman told me they were instructed to destroy the damaged engine. I am not aware of a ZL-1 CE engine. Chevrolet had built 80 ME code Corvette ZL-1 engines that were not going to be used in production. They developed a list of parts needed to convert them for use in Camaros. At one time, #55 had an ME code engine.
