I do not want to change the subject , but obviously ILUV69S does not have anyone in his or her family with Alzheimers. Trust me it is not a JOKE

I was at the auction. Craig Jackson did not come out and say the ZL1 was a rebody. Rather, he explained that the car had been tubbed and was rebuilt/restored using "parts from other cars" and went on to say that this sort of thing happens to many cars.

I was there also, and I would agree with you. The impression I got from C. J.'s statement was that the car was back-halved, not re-bodied.
I took 600 pictures between BJ, Pavillions, and Russell and Steel. I'm working on getting them all over onto photobucket.
Here are my pix of the ZL1.

And I'm not so sure on the authenticity of this one either.

[COPO 70 RS/Z28]

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>1) I bought #27 ZL-1 from Dick Tutino (ser mgr at Alan Green Chev in Seattle(Burien), WA
around 1976. I would have been approx 29 years old.
Car had been raced from Day 1 as Super Stock. When unsucessful in S/S Dick changed car to B/MP class. I knew nothing of ZL-1 engine internals. When I bought car it had Tunnel Ram with 2 Holly 4500's. Also had broken Chrysler 4 spd and DANA 60 Differential. (conclusion: born with carb, intake, T-400, 12 Bolt MISSING IN ACTION!!!)

2) Car had NO roll bar, no subframe connectors, no altered wheel tubs. As I wanted to participate with the fledgling NorthWest Pro-Stock cars, NHRA mandated a roll cage. As well car sorely needed larger tires and new wheels tubs.
#27 went to Tacoma, WA chassis shop owned by Thayne Porlier. Porlier was instructed that car was to remain NHRA legal for Mod/Prod and factory steel floors had to remain.
For reasons I never learned, Porlier removed most/much of the factory floor, fabricated a new rear frame, roll cage, etc etc.
I was very upset with his work, would not pay the bill, and he impounded the car from his shop until I paid. Cant remember time frame, but this episode wound up in court with the likes of Al Swindahl (deceased chassis builder) and others as my expert witnesses. Jerry Valentine (well known NHRA tech director) may have been involved and surely must remember.............
Court awarded me car back, I did not have to pay the bill, and cant remember if I got much if anything in $$$ damages.

3) It was at this point I parted out #27. </pre><hr />
