The blue RS ZL1, #55 was touting its original engine at the auction on a little cart behind the car, but I have it from a very good source that the engine that came with the car is not the original. The vin stamp did not match up with other known originals......

Click here and go to post #213887 by Charley for the explanation on the original engine.

It is a myth that GM gave away any ZL1s. I too was told that and believed it until I saw proof that it was not true. They did not give any ZL1s away and the invoices are available online. Also, back then, it was not uncommon for some people to have all the same numbering tools as GM. Some still have them! Follow the money.

Where are the invoices ?

Re: 1969 Camaro ZL-1 #51
 

Now where is the invoice for # 14.. :-)

Re: 1969 Camaro ZL-1 #51
 

Do not have that one.

I do have #15, significant because it was Dick Harrells race car. It is noted &quot;Stock #1717 Paid 5-28-1969&quot; and has the address of his shop. I have also seen the paperwork for Grumpy's '69 Pro Camaro. Not a ZL-1 and also not free.

A word or two about Mr. Walden. When we did our ZL-1 resto in the '80s I learned he had some OE blocks available. I did not know him but called and we did a deal over the phone. For a reasonable price we received an excellent used block that needed nothing. Later on he sent an NOS amp mounting plate for us to reproduce. He was a fine man to deal with.

But where are the invoices online as mentioned above ?

-----Its probably just me, but why couldnt a ZL1 be given away even if there was an invoice, or any other GM car for that matter. All of them had paperwork that denoted what they would have cost if sold. The paperwork was probably generated no matter what......Bill S
