Correct.


GM records clearly show that only two (2) RPO ZL-1 Corvettes were built.

When I see this topic come up I always think of this old post from way back when where Larry (Pantera) commented about seeing a blue ZL1 back then.

Posts #33 to #37 in this thread. musclecollector said he had the VIN back then but (rightly) had no plans to post it. Don't know if he ever found it again. Obviously if that block could be found with a Corvette VIN - stamped at the factory - it is a VERY VERY significant block. But it's in the wind, and thus, a unicorn.

Did he possibly drive the yellow car, which was retailed through Hechler? My understanding is the car was originally an engineer's demo and then was released for sale. I seem to remember seeing a Chevrolet memo asking if any dealers were interested in the car, highlighting this as well.

Yes - it was the yellow car. In fact, he ordered it, followed it through the build, then drove it.

The guy sitting on my desk is saying it was somewhat of a pilot car and therefore probably the first built.

Apparently the hood stripe was painted in the repair area of the plant and was such a bear to do that they only did just the one.
