Rich....I seem to remember you also thinking a ZL1 was pretty much worthless without it's orig engine.

Well, that might be a stretch. I'd sell it and buy something else. The point is that the special engine's are what made the cars special. So, I guess yea, what's a ZL1 without the engine? Same as a 6 banger.
I have a original COPO (MP) motor going into a X11 car, with a BE rear.
What's more real, the COPO VIN body with a clone motor, or the clone body with a real COPO drivetrain?
Which was my point in this post. Yes, this is a nice car, and you rarely see black 69's much less Z's. But, it still has a clone motor/tranny in it. Whereas that blue Z recently had the full numbers matching driveline and many original parts, albet unrestored, and the guy was given grief over the term survivor.
I'll take the COPO drivetrain car (which, I DID). But, hey, I'm weird like that. I like LM1's and 70 Z COPO's as well!
You guys keep those "clean" cars, keeps the ones I like cheap!
Friends,
Rich
