Default Re: ZL1 # 48 coming to Barrett-Jackson

This should have always been about the car in question, but somehow it seems to always become about attacking people who have passed on the facts as known regarding this Camaro.

Once again, the Camaro in question's owner supplied pictures of an LA built '69 Camaro body that had the serial number ZL1# 48 stamped into it. The owner further supplied and posted on this site pictures of another example of a body with ZL1 # 48 stamped into it, perhaps the final version that is currently going to auction, who knows for sure. One Camaro with the serial numbers for ZL1 # 48 and no trim tag that was painted lemans blue by Bill had june '69 sheet-metal dates.

The Camaro owner also supplied a 1981 Georgia bill of sale document with the incorrect vin number, Canadian import document reflecting the same incorrect vin # with what appears to be the same handwriting for the Camaro (Chev Camaro) and the vin. The Camaro in question is built with no original drivetrain and a repro trim tag with the BDY # of another ZL1.

The story is that this 1969 Camaro was purchased in 1981 for $ 100 in Georgia and transported back to Canada, stored until 2006 when it was first registered and found to be, low and behold, ZL1 # 48 with the correct vin! Not one 1969 Camaro body but at least 2 the owner has shown pictures of have the correct ZL1 # 48 serial number, how can this be? They must be reproducing! It must be a ZL1 breeding ground! Maybe they will show up in bunches now, all hatching on the same day! Oh wait, that has already happened before!

It would be great if an inspection could prove we have ZL1 # 48, but there is nothing to prove that; no real history, no real parts, no real trim tag. What if anything surrounding this Camaro is the original ZL1 # 48 other than a highly improbable story?

Lets leave the personal attacks off the thread. Provide something that supports that the car is real. It certainly looks otherwise based on what the owner has supplied regarding his '69 Camaro.
