DC - words like priceless or gazillion would be appropriate!!

Concerning Mr. B's ZL-1, I think that the value in it lies with him still owning it! After 41 years, he has to view that car as an extension of himself. Personally, I would hate to even see that car with an owner besides him.

Charles seems to know about this car - apparently it is a former racer that had the lower firewall cut out so all the hidden vins are missing.

[Charley Lillard]

from my earlier post.

"The one available now for 475-500K from what I am told is missing it's hidden vins because that whole firewall dash area was cut out during it's life as a sand rail. That is what I believe is hurting that car."

That doesn't mean it isn't now a good car, just my opinion that that is what I think is hurting it's sale. I believe there is good complete history on the car so they know who and when it got cut and made into the sand dragster so I don't think there was any rebody work going on. Just repairing a old race car.

The car Charly speaks of, ZL1#61, did lead a tuff life. It is owned by member Mike Miller "ZL1#61". And yes the firewall was hacked to death. However the dash vin plate is still in place with it's original rivets.
I met Mike through another member and helped Mike with a few things on his car.
I got to see her as Mike and his body guy restored the car.
They did an amazing job bringing a real ZL1 back from the dead. The work on the car was top shelf stuff. Great pains were taken to retain as much of the original sheetmetal as possible, the paint and body work is killer.
Mike is a great car guy and I am sure he would be glad to talk to anyone really interested. I know he has allot of photos of the car during build.

Car at Summit Racing in Akron Oh this June.

These 'old' cars that are still racing today are, in my mind, the true survivors of the muscle car era.
My god, they've had the livin' daylights run out of them and they still look great.

I've never met Mr. B but when I read the write-up on his car a few years ago, I thought, how do you put a price on this car? I couldn't...
