In my travels I have found drag racers don't much care what their car was originally. A few years ago a bud was contacted to examine a race car, owner had it almost 20 years. How he could have not known it was a ZL1 is hard to imagine, as the VIN tag was untouched. Race car since new, probably never registered. Many don't have any tags.

I believe there is a '69 Yenko Camaro drag car, still being raced out of the Chicago area. They know and don't care.

I found a COPO out here a couple years ago. The owner keeps hinting to me at selling but hasn't pulled the trigger yet. It's an X44 that is dollied up like a Z. He drives it around on a regular basis and we talk occasionally. Found the car in a backyard in Phoenix with no engine/trans. Has a BE rear dated to the car, factory muncie hole and ZL2 hole in the firewall.
He installed a small block and muncie 4 speed, painted the car up to look like a Z and has fun with it.
