Could it be true ??
 

Recieved a phone call from someone who says he owns, in his garage a 69 ZL1 Camaro convertible that was owned by someone very big (VP) in the Chevy Corp. This is a Documented car with alot of paperwork. Needs resto
Take it easy on the bashing. Im just the messanger
Would this be the 71 Hemi Cuda convertible in the Chevy world if this is true, but one of one. 1 million + [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Could it be true ??
 

does this car have any other options? you would figure it would be fully optioned with A/C AM/FM, 8 Track etc. numbers matching motor? maybe the reason we havnt heard about it yet is it has just taken this long to fake all the paperwork and now he hears that GM will be releasing doc's and wants to get rid of the car??[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Rich

Never say Never. There was at least one special ZL-1 made in 1970 for Bill Mitchell, so If this 69 does exist then it would qualify as the find of the decade.

More than willing to travel to look at the car. A neat car real or not.

Pretty funny thinking 69SS but the car is ALL original unrestored with LOTS of paperwork in need of a resto and is not for sale at the MOMENT. Guy payed in the 20's over 10 yrs ago. Alot of dough back then for a big block resto project unlss [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] its a very rare car. I aready know who lives close by this car. He doesnt even know that this car is in his area and I will have him inspect this car(well known on this site)when its time. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Could it be true ??

Rich, I think youre guy must be messing with you as I spoke with Jim Matteson who assured me no such car was ever built. Jim was in charge of special projects so a car such as that would have had to come across his desk. We must all keep in mind with the upcoming release of documentation(which is happining), many cars with false documentation are going to be on the market right away before the ball drops. I would think that the ZL-1 engine in a 69 drop top would have twisted the car in half anyway.

Re: Could it be true ??
 

I don't think this was an option that was available because of the high hourse power in a convertable. If this car did exist, the only way it could have been produced was for someone high up at GM. That being the case, how would there be any paper work, except for a build sheet or some internal paper work, that can document this car. The combination doesn,t make since to me. The power would twist the body to the point the doors probility would not work. Just my opinion for what it's worth.

Could a dealer have build such a car and sell it? Then it would have a paper trail.

Re: Could it be true ??
 

Howdy new to this site, Sorry a little of the topic but here goes, I was at another web site last night.
Dang Charley, you have a very nice stable of rides, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

I will have to say the Smokey Z is very cool does it run like a bat of H ll like most of Smokeys stuff??

Re: Could it be true ??
 

Charlie I was hoping you would be the one to look at this car for me. If you do Please bring your favorite chicken.
The guy showed someone last week this car and paperwork and was offered $500,000. Build says Not for US
Will be faxing me paperwork soon as he goes to his safety box.
I will bet you someone here knows of this car and is not saying. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: Could it be true ??
 

Rich...If it is true it will be a very Cool car. Very odd that nobody has ever heard of such a car though. If the Guy paid in the 20's ten years ago he Stole it. ZL1's were bringing well over 100K back then. If it is real , I would think that would be top of the Chevrolet Food Chain.

Re: Could it be true ??
 

If the car is for real, it would have to rival the 71 Hemi Cuda conv in value. Keep us posted.

Re: Could it be true ??
 

Could it be an original convertible big block (396) car that he had the dealer install a 427 ZL-1 motor in it? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Could it be true ??
 

I'm guessing it is a L89 convert. that was bought out here a few Months ago.

Re: Could it be true ??
 

I STUMBLED ON TO THIS OLD POST AND WAS WONDERING HOW IT TURNED OUT? WAS IT A REAL DEAL OR JUST A HOAX? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
