Where is ZL-1 #66?

[Charley Lillard]

My personal guess is Bill acquired the engine somewhere and found a way to get paperwork for the car. It is clear from his registration showing it as a X442L1 he was trying to further document it as a ZL1(I am assuming the 2L1 was a misprint of ZL1). So over the years he has had paper on the car and maybe has the engine. If you are documenting the car as a ZL1 you are not losing track of it like his claim. Unless he comes up with bare metal pics of the hidden vins I won't believe any of his paperwork. Maybe he had the roundy round car that had the engine. That would explain why it was not worth saving. Many roundy round cars have been cut up so much there are no vins but if you found one with a ZL1 engine in it you would sure like to think it belonged in that car especially if you knew how important ZL1's were. I think Bill put the engine up on Ebay and told the tale about having the car as a way to doll up his auction. He has had years to try and resolve this with the owners but has made no effort except to say he was blown off by Desert Autosport and that when he reported it to the Police they never called him back. Hanging your hat on a Sports car dealer saying it is #'s matching means it is a fake is silly. And anyone that thinks there is no way to get a car vin verified without ever producing a real car to look at is niave.
