ZL-1 #15 was also a Harrell built light weight gutted fiberglass nose match race drag car
built as a twin to the #1 Gibb car and raced by the Leatherman Brothers
Many of the ZL-1s went to the Harrell shop for mods for NHRA or AHRA or light weight match race cars. Some were sent to Chevy Dealers as race cars.
The Harrell shop installed roll bars, suspension mods, B&M clutch turbo transmissions, did engine mods and blueprinting, custom paint etc.
A drag racer who said he lived near the Harrell shop and knew the guys there said he thought Harrell had got 50 of the ZL-1s because he remembers new 1969 Camaros all over the shop and parked down the street. He remembers it was a big deal that they were $7000 Camaros and some were taken apart and had a fiberglass nose installed.
Most likely, not all of those Camaros were ZL-1s because Harrell also worked on L-72 Camaros and other Camaros.
Dick Harrell was also running ads to sell the ZL-1s.
