ZL-1 #17
 

Trying to find ZL-1 # 17, 124379N609462. This ZL-1 was originally sent to Gibb Chevrolet, It is cortez silver, standard black int., M-21 4speed. It was then sent back to GM and re-distributed to Roger Penske Chevy where it was eventually sold. I have tracked the car to the mid-west and it has not been registered for awhile. Car is supposedly still out there and is a running car.

This car used to hang around SRD ( Speed Research and developement ) Speed shop in the West Chester, PA area back in the day.

Finders fee paid if I end up buying the car. Please call Mike at 215-491-3249

Thank you in advance for any information or history of this car

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Anyone hear of/about/have any information on a ZL1 that was recently found in Florida, and is now being restored by someone named Darren Meynard(sp)in Omaha, NE?

Supposedly has the #match block still in it and was having parts sold off of it.

Pretty interesting story if what I just heard is true.

Guy answered an ad for a zl1 block for 20k on racingjunk.com and finds the rusty car at the guys house. Guy says he has been selling parts off the car for years, and this guy Darren buys what is left for 40k.

Heard the car is cortez silver, is this the one you guys are asking about?

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

I have heard ZL-1 number 17 was or has been restored by a collector in Cali as a Z-28. I have also heard it is alive an well in the MidWest. I have called in some favors and it has been last registered in Oklahoma years back. I really would love to own this car. I am selling off my other two cars to make sure I have the cash to buy it if it comes available. The ZL-1 to me is the Holy Grail of muscle cars.

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Mike,
Look up a Darren Maynard or Meynard from Omaha, NE. The word I got is that he is restoring this Cortez Silver ZL-1 for resale.
He built a 69 street cruiser pro touring car and sold it at Barrett in Miami earlier this year, it was red or orange? So maybe you can find him that way.

Good Luck!

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Anyone know the status of ZL1 #54... originally sold at Bristol Motors, Alberta, Canada. Last I heard it was being restored... any idea who owns it and where its being restored??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Hey guys, I know Darren and called him yesterday about this car. He knew nothing about it. He is building another custom 69 and is putting a ZL1 engine in it but the engine he bought came out of Wis and it has a replacement block not an original out of a real car. He is not a restorer and has no interest in original cars so where this story came from we don't know. If you want to verify this, call Kelly in Omaha and ask him. There is only 1 ZL1 around here and it is the rebodied #22 that hasn't even been started to be restored and is not for sale. Frank

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Wow. I got the story from a friend is Mississippi, who had lunch with Darrens brother (works for the FBI or some such?) who said that Darren had the Zl1 resto on a web site. He (the friend, Don 'Mr Camaro' in Biloxi) is not web savy and wanted me to find the site so He could take a peek at it.

Guess it's like that class experiment, by the time it gets to you, it's different that what was said. I saw this thread, and thought it might be the same car. Sorry if there was any confusion.

#54 is in IL, owned by Ed Cunneens' brother in law. Last time I saw it it was about 75% complete.

Thanks! I had heard that Ed's brother in law came up here and bought the car... actually drove the car back to Chicago! I'd like to keep track of the car because of its Canadian origin. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...-I-Have-It.gif I will try to find out more about it through COPO Connection.

69 lm1 you have a pm.

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have ZL-1 number 17's engine block. I have been trying to find this car to no avail. I would like to buy number 17 or at the worst cast scenario (for me) reunite the engine with the car or another ZL-1 that needs a correct engine block.

My original intention was to install this engine in a tribute race car but instead I am installing a GM performance crate engine because I could not bear the thought of damaging this original block.

The block is standard bore and when I bought it, the block needed a minor repair, which has been done. The work was completed and the block authenticated by one of the foremost experts on Camaros. The engine block is ready for assembly and is as new. There is no doubt that this is the real deal.

I have documents authenticating this engine and the complete history of this engine. If anyone has any information or interest please give me a call.

Best regards

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Ok Just so that everyone knows I am not b s ing here is the cert and a pic of the block. I will not post pics of the VIN or other unique stampimgs of this motor it is real and I need some help finding the car or help reuniting the engine to the car. Please understand I know what the car is worth even if it needs a major restoration and will have the funds to purchase the car.

Did anyone hear if the car surfaced due to the auction?

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Anybody know how this ended up??....has this car truly been found? And if so, did the motor get reunited with the car? Just curious.

Mike

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Yes to both questions. It is the cover car for JM's 69 Camaro book.

Re: ZL-1 #17
 

Is that book available yet?
