The car has been out and known for years and I'm just curious if the engine was known for years and if so why it wasn't offered. </div></div>

When we had ZL1 #65 on consignment from Carl Stubber, we were contacted by several people including an individual from Wisconsin, with a very &quot;interesting&quot; history within the Camaro community, who said that his associate in Arizona, I believe, had the complete driverain to the car. Engine trans and rear??

I contacted Carl and he was aware of the claim regarding the engine, but he was not interested for many reasons at that time.

Since we had the car for sale, we told &quot;them&quot; that they could just buy the car and reunite the drivetrain and Car. We never even received an offer from &quot;them&quot; on the car.

I however was skeptical yet interested and asked for pictures to confirm what was being represented but never received them.

What I did get was a bunch of rhetoric.......come see for yourself......bring cash.....etc.

So while I don't know what happened afterwards, I am very curious to know the rest of the story as well and see pics of the original engine and the other original parts posted on this thread.

I hope it all turns out to be valid scenario! It would be very Kool to see another original engine reunited with the original car.

The engine is correct and has been validated to be the real deal. I am working with a very talented group of individuals to get the sub frame assembly to the show. We know we do not have ALL the perfect parts, mostly need the correct transistor ignition, but what we have will be a super representation of the original Heart Beat of America drive train for ZL-1 #65 and represent the correct 9737 COPO option that was removed. The 140mph speedo is still in the car showing 39 miles. Our intent is not to install the sub frame, but display the race car side by side with its original equipment. I look forward to meeting everyone at the show and seeing all the other rare masterpieces!

Annie and I have the correct and NOS 1111927 distributor dated 8K11, the transistor, coil and brown distributor cap. Maybe we can work something out.

Very nice, may I ask who these talented people are?
