"... packing the original COPO ZL1 all aluminum 427 engine"


not "an original COPO ZL1 all-aluminum 427 engine"
not "a period-correct COPO ZL1 all-aluminum 427 engine"


but "THE original COPO ZL1 all-aluminum engine"

All the good bits were long ago pirated, hence I have zero intention of trying to recreate a 'silk purse out of a sow's ear'. The important part, the body number tag is still riveted on (albeit with a bit of a twist in that area, and it may take some careful work to get it straight again). I intend to restomod the remains, and it will never be put up for sale as some super desirable collector item ZL1. It is a sh-tbox that will be rebuilt with as many new panels as I can throw at it, and also some upgrades to the brakes and suspension. Engine wise, big block aftermarket aluminum blocks can be found, but it will never have a ZL1 number on it. I am still going to use an OEM front clip and not go to some full chassis type restomod. What will it be worth in the end? I do not care, it is a keeper and will be used by me as a regular driver, not locked away in a display cabinet.
You guys may have thought I was kidding when I asked if this is the same guy that posted about the ZL-1 found in a tow truck ( it was a dually) and the hemi pulled out of the river …. Well I found the thread . If you want a laugh, check this classic out .
