Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but I thought I read a long time ago that this Black-'n-Gold '69 ZL-1 Camaro was a prototype for a new, proposed model that came very close to a production car. The sixty-nine previouly produced ZL-1 Camaros were obviously race cars with their 12.5 Compression, .600 lift camshaft, and 850 double pumpers while this proposed model was going to be a more streetable version with 11.00 Compression, smaller camshaft and 780 Vacuum Secondary all packaged up in a nicer looking car that was striped & spoiler'ed up a bit to distinguish it from your average-looking ZL-1 Camaro that looked like a 6-cylinder car at a glance.
