2002 Yenko Show

[mhassett]

Charlie, You are right--I didn't jump on the band wagon right away. I did want one when I went to the Tom Henry show. Scott Sottlemeyer thought they could get me #35 or least switch numbers. I did talk to Matt Murphy (very nice to talk to) but #35 was taken already committed to. Matt tried to trade him other numbers but he would not do it as he wanted the anniversary #35.. I wanted that number of course to match my '69 #35 but I was too LATE.. Maybe down the road I'll get one that might come up for sale. Looking forward to seeing one at the Reunion.
Thanks, Mark <font color="blue"> </font color>

man, these cars are going to be smokin! just ask dave. power, a/c and a rider all in one, oh thats right, i'm not suppose to drive it, yeah! i wonder who will have the lowest mile one 20 yrs. from now, won't be me!

I guess I took it for granted that GMMG was asking some of the owners of the 1969 cars if they were interested, as they are still new cars and don't have to be treated any differently sales-wise I guess. So, I can see GMMG's point of just worrying about selling the cars, but I can also see Mark's point where some other original ZL-1 owners got matching #s, while he didn't. Just one of those things I suppose.

Are all the 2002 ZL1s sold? Will they build more then 69 of them? Just curious

[Charley Lillard]

I think they are all spoken for and they aren't going to do more than 69. There may be some Dealers that have bought them though and I don't know what their intentions are, maybe they have them sold to Customers or maybe they will put them up for sale once they have them. Berger and GMMG are also doing the Hotrod Magazine cars and I know Berger still has a few left available. They commemorate 35 years of Camaro's and have numbered them 1967-2002. Dennis Barker at Berger managed to get 1967 for his Wife, beautiful car. Black with Red Hockey Stick and red Leather interior. They come stock with 380 hp but hers was done as a 435 hp. They even have new Chrome Crager SS wheels. I think the starting price for them is 39,500.00. Go to gmmginc.net and look at the hot rod car...Cool car. If I didn't already have a ZL1 I would own one of those.

[JoeC]

Do they let you chose your own wheels? I read the new Mustang Cobra uses an updated versions of the classic "Magnum 500" five-spoke wheels. These look similar to the old 69-70 SS wheels but I don't know if they make them in a Chevy bolt pattern. May look good on a 2002 SS/ZL1 Camaro to.

[Charley Lillard]

The Base ZL1 comes with Corvette ZO6 wheels and Brakes. Porterfields # 1 car came with Cragers. I'm sure they will put just about anything you want on it within reason. Or if it looks too stupid they just might say NO.

Brian and Charley, your replies make alot of sense! Thats what I get for jumping to conclusions! I don't think I made myself clear on the 1969 colors. I just thought that only ONE of each of the 1969 colors be produced to make them unique against the others. I understand Matt has a business to run, and this probably wasn't feasible. He is doing an outstanding job with this project, from the website, to the correspondence with his customers. I plan on visiting his shop in the next 3 weeks. Charley you are right about the hotrod car. I parked next to it in Monmouth. I agree, I would own one if not for the ZL-1 cars. My car is silver with not only the ZL-1 striping, but the hockey stripes also, and new cragars. Can't wait to see the #3 car at the reunion! What a pair!
