Very interesting info, thanks William.

It must have been a glorious time back in those early days of rediscovery, history was being unraveled every step of the way. I'm sure it wasn't nearly as cut throat as it is now due to the lack of players involved and info available. Most importantly, the value of these cars wasn't even close to what it is today which made the stakes lower. It must have been quite the experience tracking one of these old ZL1 owners down and going to their house to see that garage door lifted to unveil a lost treasure! Wow!

By the way, as you stated, Mr. C. had just as fair as a chance as anyone out there to go out and capitalize on the ZL1 phenomenon. You have to admit, he was an innovator! Only in America! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]
