Could be wrong but I don't think that ZL1 sold on Ebay although it was listed there a few times. I think the owner of Hearbeat City still owns it.

Sport Chevrolet is about 20 miles from me. The owner is a friend of mine and a car nut too. His family has owned the dealership for quite sometime and a couple of the guys that worked there back in the day still are there. When Jim's ZL1 went on Ebay the first time I sent a link to my friend who couldn't believe the $'s. I asked him to see if they had any of the old paperwork still but when he took over from his father 9 years ago they tossed out all that old paperwork. The current general manager today started out there as a salesman in the mid 60's. If I remember correctly that particular ZL1 first went to Lustine Chevrolet in Hyattsville MD where it didn't sell and was re-allocated to Sport Chevrolet. Lustine's buildings still stand today but are to be torn down as the area is going through a redevolopment. For those who know the University of Maryland, Lustine is just a few miles past U of MD on route 1. It looks like the buildings date back to somewhere around 1930 and it was state of the art at it's time. I need to take some pictures before the wrecking ball gets there. It's been area that has been neglected for the past 20 years and really needs an overhaul.

The old signs are long gone too by the way.....I went looking for some the same time Charley was showing us his new addition. Somebody beat me to them!
