Which ZL-1 is tied to the George Lyons debacle?

#9. Not quite a 'debacle'. Took some convincing to persuade him to disclose the re-body.

They settled on this:

"A GM factory assembled body shell was used to correct the extensive body modifications performed during this cars long term drag race history."

He bought it 2006 at auction from a consignor that did not disclose the re-body.

I respectfully disagree.He's been selling cars for decades and it was a debacle for someone like him.

Define 'original'.

Tonawanda built 182 ZL-1 engines; 71 were used in production. There were just under 600 blocks cast; highest machining # I am aware of is 505 so scrap looks to be about 14%. The majority of machined block castings were sold to engine builders.

If it is an 052 or 053 block cast [late] in 1968 or 1969, it was part of the program.

The ads for it back in the day made no 'OE drivetrain' claim so probably just a generic resto ZL-1 engine.
