Berger Chevy #3 ZL1

Well, not exactly.

The #3 ZL1 [N608193] has body number 211785. The Gibb ZL1s were 222001-222049 & 240022. That makes #3 the first ZL1 ordered. In an interview in one of the mags years ago, someone at Berger had a bud at Central Office and learned of the COPOs. Berger initially placed orders for 2 9561 COPOs, 211785 & 211786. Sometime later, 211785 was changed to COPO 9560.

211786 still exists as N608586 L72 4-speed 72 B 711.

Working with some people that are researching the ZL1 engine story. They have amassed many internal docs from Chevy. The ZL1 Camaro project appears to have been in the works prior to Fred Gibbs' involvement.
