Cool pics, what’s the Vin also where’s the ‘Vette today? Being Daytona, is this ‘68 Pacer the same car used at the 02/68 race w/ wheelman Jim Garner?  ~ Pete .

That Vette is still on the road. I think it was auctioned in the last year or so. It was "HIS" test mule...

Someone claims to have found Zora's white 1968 427 L-88 ZL-1 Prototype test mule serial #00007 and is restoring it

I've heard bits and pieces about this car. A friend was supposed to get to see it, but that never materialized. It was for sale, but I remember the price was pretty high and I never saw any paperwork showing this was Zora's test mule. Supposedly paperwork did exist. I'm sure someone has ordered a Shipping Report, and this should reflect delivery to the GM Engineering Center.

Tim, others,
Is the coupe Zora driving in the pics known and surviving? What a killer photo. I've never seen this before. Amazing history. Dan
