Default Re: ZL1 # 62 124379N642934

From the RK site: <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;More recently, the foremost expert in the field has authenticated the engine as a real 1969 Camaro ZL1, not a replacement/warranty block&quot;.</span>

Clearly doesn't state which ZL-1. Also, reading Jerry's report, simply states the block was cast in 1969. &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold">casting date 02-69, real ZL-1 engine</span>&quot;. I don't see anywhere IN THE REPORT that the engine came out of a Camaro, let alone which Camaro.

Seeing as the car is being auctioned next week, isn't it available for inspection? Seems like someone could verify which (if any) partial vin is down by the oil filter. I would THINK the partial stamped on an aluminum block would be easier to read because of the softer metal and because it shouldn't be covered in orange paint. Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants to find a partial with an S instead of and N?

It shouldn't be that difficult to solve the mystery. Anyone in Palm Beach?
