B-M 69 ZL1 ???

[Born30YrsLate]

I have a couple articles on Oldham's BM Camaro...from what I get from the articles he ordered the car as just a 427/425 transplant and they transplanted in the ZL1 for the article(?). He also wanted 4-wheel disc brakes(didn't get it) and no hockey stripes.
From what I know (however accurate I may be) there were 2 '69 Baldwin Motion Camaros that were equipped with the ZL1 motor transplant (anybody - correct me if I'm wrong).....One of which is known (a friend of mine has it) and the other may be known. Any who....in my opinion that would be the ULTIMATE car to have...a double wammy of performance....

I've been trying to talk him into coming to the reunion. I would offer him my girlfriends ticket, but she might not like that too much since this is "quality time [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]" together....he doesn't want to attend unless he brings the car (which is complete and driveable, but needs interior work and paint), however he doesn't want the publicity that would come with the car.....I told him no problem - I'll take the car and he can act like an interested on looker - but no deal. I don't have any pics of the car right now, next time I go out to his place, which probably won't be for at least a month, I'll see if I can get some shots of the car.......

Born30YrsLate,
Pictures would be great if you can get them,--even the story how he got the car would be interesting---Thanks [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]--JoeG------Quality time---Hmmmmm!--Sounds familiar.-------OH YEAH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Next time I talk with him I'll get the story...he told it to me once, but I was too preoccupied by looking at the car that I was hearing what he was saying, but not listening to the words coming out of his mouth - funny thing is that my girlfriend tells me the same thing [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]....HA....I'll keep you guys posted.......

I found another article on this car and the story is close to this article posted here except it says the test engine first installed then removed was a ZLX engine which they describe as a cast iron copy of a ZL1 engine. I think Joe O got his ZLX and ZL1 engines mixed up when he wrote that.
