Interesting. I read Ken’s bio that was in with the ZL1 paperwork at the Musclecar City auction. I believe the it stated that Ken was a GMI student at the Tonawanda engine plant (which is located in Tonawanda - not Rochester) starting in 1968. I was also a GMI student sponsored, for part of my curriculum, out of the Tonawanda complex. I’m a little older than Ken, but we should have crossed paths at Tonawanda. We all met in John Hamacher’s office occasionally. Do you know what Ken’s job(s) were at Tonawanda during the 70s? Just wondering how, as a student, he had “hands on” knowledge of the ZL1 program. Wondering also why Ken feels that “it seems that this didn’t happen” (ZL1 engines weren’t returned to Tonawanda).
I'm aware of Ken's assignments later in his career - just focusing on the ZL1 production period when Ken was only at the plant 1/2 of the time, and even then as a co-op student.
