This is the ZL-1 powered Corvette show car

The Z-427 and the Corvette were built with a lot of custom details

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.

In the corvette ZL1 thread I think it was Larry Cain years ago mentioned seeing a BLUE 1969 ZL1 vette.

So this would add/verify that there was more then the 2/3 Zl1 vettes. They known Yellow and White, plus the orange, NOW A BLUE.
GM documents list the exact number of RPO (regular production) 1969 ZL-1 vettes as: 2


The white car has been ruled-out as one of the "2" regular production cars ... it was built too early, before the first/pilot production ZL-1 vette was built.


Of course, this "official number" (2) does not include: mules, prototypes, dealer conversions, or any cars converted or "hand built" (after production) with OTC ZL-1 engines.

one article states the "1969 Aero Coupe" was originally a 1968 small block Corvette. It was custom built by Chevy Eng with a Zl-1 engine with L-88 hood and 427 emblems, and a lot of other mods.

In 1970 it was rebuilt and renamed the "1970 Scirocco" It had a flat hood and "ZL-1" emblem or decal on the fender. It is said to be 454 cu in aluminum engine with a prototype Rochester Fuel Injection system.

In 1974. was rebuilt and renamed again as the "1974 Mulsanne" was used as a show car and Can Am pace car.

Ok, do you have colors of these "official" ZL1's? We all agree on Roger's Yellow being legit, but your saying the EX Kevin Saydum WHITE is a fake?

And what about the orange GULF/ John Mayer/ YENKO involved convert??

The yellow & orange cars are, far and away, the two most likely candidates for the 2 RPO (regular production) 1969 ZL-1 corvettes.


Unfortunately, no known Chevrolet documents list the VIN numbers of the 2 RPO cars.
