Re: '69 ZL1 #23
 

So Steve, what's the story on the engine that is currently in the car and is the whereabouts of the original engine known? I see the letter from Ed about the engine, is that the one that is in this car now?

Jeff; I sent you a PM, but in short...the car had/has #42 engine when I bought it from John Barrett. it was either Ed C. or John B. that told me the engine story, but I honestly don't remember all the details. Perhaps John or Ed could chime in...

Re: '69 ZL1 #23
 

The #42 engine was included with the sale of the #49 ZL-1 Camaro to John. I was never able to locate the original engine for the #49 car.

I really should have worn my nametag.

So who has the #42 car? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] It's like a big puzzle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: '69 ZL1 #23
 

Ed's site lists #42 as destroyed!?!....what a bummer [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Those guys at the srcap yard must have been using only half a brain. Save the engine and scrap the body?

Re: '69 ZL1 #23
 

The paperwork from Ed shows the #41 engine, not the #42 engine. So somebody still has #41 without its original engine? Steve, I wish I could buy your car. I'd trade my house for it and some cash, but I'd have to check with my brother since we went in on the house together. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Steve., I know you are trying to thin the heard, so I guess I could take it off your hands, not a Camaro guy...but in the interest of helping a fellow Bow-tie guy out, yada yada yada.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] or I could trade ya this old blue 66 and some cash...Though I am not sure how much cash I would need for ya to give me...we can work it out [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I'll have my people call your people.

Nice car, Love the Color!
