Great updates also pics!
To confirm, are you guys saying the Z-427 also Experimental ‘Vette in the 03/69 Roger Dean Ad both for sure had their Alloy lumps added/neither was a Factory Aluminum Engine car?
Love the ZL1 #1 pics Joe posted above, here’s another great shot of it I had saved, note decal differences + non-painted lower lenses also no front spoiler.

It tells me something different.
Normal plates went on all the lease cars, pool cars, etc. Having a normal plate meant that it wasn't assigned to a department for development, etc. And met crash and emissions. Obviously, they weren't that rigorous with the rules back then.

Depends on the department. All our M-plate cars had normal VIN's. We got production cars and then put prototype parts on them.

Back to the total ZL1’s built known/reported circa 69/70, this 08/69 Lafferty Ad below notes 67 cars…close but not bang on like the Huebner Ad.

I believe this is ZL-1 #23

I have photos of it before it was restored and it had white Z/28 style stripes on it with thin blue lines on the white

I expected the Lafferty Ad was #23, were any other ZL1’s known sold there?
These two links are still alive from when Steve S. restored the car…

Interesting time line dates on #23

In the 1991 letter from Fred Gibb , he states the car was received by Gibb Chevrolet on March 13, 1969 then returned to Chevy on May 24, 1969

Lafferty Ad is dated Aug 1969

The info sheet on the car states Lafferty sold it on Aug. 10, 1970

Here is something I had in my ZL-1 file on the orange ZL-1 Corvette TH400

unless this tank sticker is fake, it appears to show it was ordered as a ZL-1
