What Chuck posted on Camaros.net

"Over 30 years ago I parted out the ORIGINAL/REAL # 27 ZL-1 due to Thayne Porliers chassis shop in Tacoma, WA removing the factory floor pan. I removed the VIN tag and installed it on a junk yard 69 Body, and used the ZL-1 title to have WASH state ownership on the new 69 Canmaro, racecar I built. (Go ahead put me in jail, sue me, what ever on what I did 30 years ago...........that is NOT what this ZL-1 issue is about.)

Around 1982 I sold the multi colored C/SM 69 racecar to Allan Martin Chevrolet in Bremerton,WA. It then passed to subsequent owners including current owner Jim Bruns.
Somehow Bruns communicated with a man in the midwest, who wanted to buy his "ZL-1" VIN tagged car and title. Bruns didnt want to sell the car, but alledgedly sold the VIN tag and title. Not sure who actually recreated/cloned the current #27 ZL-1, but apparently the born with VIN TAG found its way onto the dash location.

Back to the original (butchered floor) 69 ZL-1 body with original TRIM TAG. I sold/gave (cant remember 30 years ago) Body to man by the name of John Carmondy (spelling) in North Seattle area. IMHO this body with hidden vin and trim tag was never used to recreate the current #27. The current # 27 has been inspected behind heater plenum and doesnt have the #27 ZL-1 VIN............There is no proof or evidence of what happened to original body!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOTTOM LINE is current #27 that is being called a rebodied car, DOES NOT have one born with part OTHER than VIN TAG...............
Every part on the recreated #27 was either imported from another 69 Camaro or possibly N.O.S. parts........

I can not prove above statements...........these are my conclusions based on what I did and/or believe to be the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I was at the auction. Craig Jackson did not come out and say the ZL1 was a rebody. Rather, he explained that the car had been tubbed and was rebuilt/restored using "parts from other cars" and went on to say that this sort of thing happens to many cars.

NW YENKO, Interested to know your source on that $25K selling price. Hard to believe that much, but I have no info on any price that Jim B received from mid west CLONERS............

FYI, I sold complete running C/SM drag car for $8500!!!!!!
to Allan Martin Chevrolet
