#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.

What engine is in this car, is it an original ZL1 engine?

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.

I wonder what's happened with this car and how many owners it's had since it was put together. The Macneish evaluation is pretty damning.

Does anyone know if the VIN is original? Or the paperwork? Suggesting it’s a rebody, I assume would suggest original VIN with different body? |
