Re: value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor
[ QUOTE ]
I'm also surprised that Jim had no interest to get the original motor for his ZL1. But then I think Ed C. was offered the original motor for his ZL1 #46 (I think) and he passed as well! I think it would be great to see these cars reunited with their original motors but I can understand from a financial position that sometimes these things just aren't meant to happen.

There is a long history regarding Ed's ZL1 and the original engine. He did try to purchase it many years ago. If I remember correctly his original Paint ZL1 was show cased right next to the actual engine. This was at the Chevy Vette Fest back in the late 1980s early 90s.
Back when Bob Ashton's world revolved around Mopars???
Also, there was a ZL1 clone which claimed to have an engine from one of the original 69, no 71, no 72 ZL1s produced. It was sold at this past Barrett Jackson auction.
