Re: black 69 zl1
I only remember this car as the "Scirocco", but in fact in 69 it was the "Aero Coupe" which showed the new for 70 louvers and the flared front fenders. It had a ZL1 that was actually 454cid, with an experimental 4-spd automatic. The car was repainted for the 70 show circuit, then received A-pillar mounted mirrors, body color front bumper and grill, new hood, and a new roof. It was used as a pace car for the Can-Am series until 1974 when it was modified by Bill Mitchell again into the Mulsanne Corvette which had lots of body and interior modifications. The one constant was the taller & rounded w/s frame. It again was used as a pace car for 1975 on a limited basis. Here are two pictures I found of it on the internet as the Scirocco.
