Re: black 69 zl1
Just an opinion, but I wouldn't be so quick to discount the calendar car as a non-factory custom. Bill Mitchell was always doctoring up stuff to his own tastes. He liked yellow, he liked that style of wheel (alot) and he liked the '69 Camaro (alot). The 1962 mako Shark vette (see my attachment) has similar wheels and that car is all Mitchell. And that IS definitely a shadow.

Re: black 69 zl1
1975 Camaro Berlinetta show car at the Chicago Auto Show - another Mitchell creation. Check the wheels.

Re: black 69 zl1
Mitchell and Duntov's collaboration 1967 Astro I Corvette Concept. He loved those wheels. And the calendar car just seems to have other "Mitchell" touches. The chin spoiler, the European mirrors. It just looks like something he would have had the GM Colour & Design shop whip up for him. Hence the GM Archives photo credit.

Re: black 69 zl1
I always loved this photo, I scanned it from Popular Hot Rodding.
It was published in Oct 1969, had all the new cars in it for '70. All photos were factory photos. Is that taken at the proving grounds? Those wheels look cool.
