1969 ZL1 Camaro

[K Pascoe]

The ZL-1 at AC was in the car corral and did not run thru the auction.

Golden Classics!! What a place!!

My 'friend' Nick the owner hustles me away from the poor suckers who are buying cars there every time, it's fun.

People will pay when they see nice paint, they don't do any research - amazing. I think I need to visit there again soon, they had a Yenko clone there last time. They said it was a 'Yenko, enough discussion'.

He is your friend ? My friend had to cut up a "Rust Free" 66 Nova that came from there. The guy that bought it trusted them over the phone rather than fly out and look at it.

Charley, I think Marlin and this guy are as close as you and Ign Man!!!

Charlie;
Nick is no friend - I meant that sarcastically!!

He hustled me all over that place when I was there in order keep me away from some buyers that they were conning into a big block '72 Chevelle. I attempted to assist the 19 year old buyer and his parents by telling them where the engine codes would be, and how to verify them. Nick intercepted me to tell me about the Lemans Blue '69 Yenko Camaro out back. 'Nice car' I said, 'where is the trim tag?' 'Under the hood', Nick said. I asked to see this trim tag, (I knew it had been removed by the guys in upstate New York who had built the car, and brought it Super Chevy - Maple Grove the previous month). Eventually, Nick lifted the hood and gave me some story about the missing trim tag. I told him I knew the car was a clone. 'Let me show you a '70 Z28 I have in the showroom'!!! No thanks - go pound sand. This place is completely dishonest, Golden what??

Marlin is very,very,very right! I have experienced first hand the crap that goes on down there. I went with a buddy of mine to verify the authenticity of a 1969 Camaro Z-28 RS that was sold(to one of his customers) at a show in Pennsylvania. After checking the car out we had a list of things wrong with this "matching # rare car". Here they are: right block, wrong date heads, wrong intake, wrong carb, wrong shifter, wrong alt, wrong fan, right trans, wrong bellhousing, and this is the greatest.... "Chambered exhaust running to a single Flowmaster muffler". I could not believe it. I have a wealthy buddy who is facinated by bright shiny objects who bought a 1967 Chevelle SS 396 from the same dealer that happened to have a MATCHING NUMBER 283 in it!!!!!!!!!!!!! No joke.
