ZL1 # 48 coming to Barrett-Jackson

[bergy]

This is a really important car! Why not just invite the experts to look at it, physical evidence, the resto pictures, the documentation, etc? Posting pics (as always) just leads to more questions - (I can think of a few questions myself based on the latest round of postings - those 2 body stampings should be EXACTLY the same). I don't know who is right & who is wrong - I'd love it if another ZL1 was found!

When the cars were trucked to the dealership two unique identifying numbers were typed on the transit paperwork. The "serial number" was the partial VIN; the "ident number" was the number on the body tag. Both numbers also appear on the window sticker and shippers' copy. All Fred Gibb Chev ZL1 Camaro paperwork still exists.

The body number shown on the "trim tag" above belongs to LeMans Blue ZL1 Camaro #47 N618713. It is restored and has its original tags; both unique identifying numbers match its paperwork.

ZL1 #48 would have a different number on its original body tag.

ok lets clarify this info. quikr9 knows the owner of #48 and has proof of owning the car and claims pics from camaromb are not pics of his #48 car. So are we talking about the same car or is there a real #48 and then a #48 made up car. If there are two different cars, people need to know this before it could really be bad for the owner of the real #48.

Quik9R. I doubt if Bulaw made up the pics-story that he has posted and it appears to be the same vin as your friends. Your friend gave you pics etc to post but no pic of the trim tag that Bulaw says is a fake with the wrong body #. Your friend supplied you info of what is on the tag but not a pic of the tag. William says the tag info you supplied has the wrong body # for that car. Bulaw says the car he has pics of also has the wrong body #. Can you get your friend to give you a real pic of his trim tag ? I asked people early on in this thread to stick to facts because I don't want a innocent car trashed but something is going on here and a pic of that tag should do alot to clearing this up.

anybody notice that the hole next to the 9 on the cowl vin is in a different spot on the primered car, also the seam sealer by the heater core area on quick9r's photos looks old to me.

I just took a measurement from the hole to the 9, then take that measurment it equals the distance from the 9 to the 1... Go to the other pic and do the same-- Not even close. Those ARE NOT the same car Cowl pics.

Wait so now there are <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">TWO</span></span> #48 ZL-1's? Not looking forward to seeing how this is going to turn out.

Ok, lets review the facts again.. or what I know as facts...

The reported ZL1 # 48 was brought to a bodyshop to be painted. The knowledgeable shop owner noticed that the body sheetmetal was dated much later than the build date of ZL1 # 48. The body to be painted did not have the trim tag. The body had cowl and firewall vin stamps that matched the ZL1 # 48 serial number.

The owner of the car supplied pictures of the body to the bodyshop (pictures that I have previously posted).

The car owner supplied copies of the notarized Georgia Bill of Sale showing a purchase of a 1969 Camaro serial # 124371N618902 on 5/29/1982 for $ 100.00

The car owner also supplied the Canada Customs form dated 5/31/1982 showing 1969 Camaro serial # 124371N618902 reported with a customs appraised value of $ 100.00

The car owner supplied the Canadian Vehicle information package dated 12/01/06 showing 1969 Camaro serial # 124379N618902 registered on 11/30/2006 to the car owner and no prior history.

I did not post pictures of these documents but they are available.
Why the car owner supplied these pictures and documents to the bodyshop owner is a mystery.

Charlie asked what was known about ZL1 # 48, this is what we have from information the current owner and car painter supplied. As I stated before, anyone interested in the car needs to have a thorough inspection of the car itself. All the matters is what we have here of the original ZL1 # 48. At this point we can't be sure what is real I guess.

Did this car have a tach? If so, did it also have console gauges?
