[JoeC]

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

----Well,,,At least to me, that answers the question of weather or not the orange car is a real ZL-1....!....Bill S

Thanks Joe. I saw that car at a few car shows in Pittsburgh when I lived there. Such a cool Corvette and the guy did seem genuine about the provenance of it.

the Orange ZL-1 was around for many years with some racing history then was restored and sold for over $3M

In the articles about the cars history, it was said to be certified as a ZL-1

----One year at Corvette Carlisle the owner had aa room at our hotel and we talked quite a bit. He was a really nice guy and very accomodating to all my questions. I have never thought for a moment that the car wasn't what it was purported to be!....Bill S
