This car is Not one of the first 50, só How is it possible to know the body Number? Since They have little correlation to the VIN.

BtW, Without checking fonts or spacing of individual numbers, The Block VIN stamp posted looks very similar to my old #34 ZL-1 original Block VIN stamp. I have in my database photos of original blocks stamped with the VIN on the deck,( no gang stamp) but mine and others are by the oil filter , similar to this one.

That's interesting. #34 [N610899] was final-assembled March 7, 1969. It's fairly common knowledge the VIN stamp dies and possibly the holder were changed in production at Norwood April '69. The con VIN on the block for #34 would be clearly different than the block stamping on a car built May 14, 1969.

In an 2011 article, Craig Jackson talked about buying his ZL-1 #68 in 1988

This article said the ZL-1 is a $1M car

$1M in 2011 is about $1.3M in 2023

changed it

No clue of originality on the car in this thread, and no clue of date of VIN change of ZL-1s.

But, one thing I know for certain. The 100% ORIGINAL VIN on my block #34 is by the oil filter.
