Mr70,is there anyway you can post the picture of the black camaro? The two photos I have are the photo in the camaro book by Micheal Lamm and a small one in Dec 86 Car Craft. It's the article with Lillard's #3 car when Porterfield owned it.

Insane:

The problem is that a lot of cars were race cars and thus never registered or title after a certain point, whether it was early in the cars life, or later when the car was just another worn out Camaro. Another problem with the ZL-1s is their lack of exterior ID...most people never knew what they were looking at. Plus, it's been 30+ years...that's a LOT of water under the bridge!

At the press preview....The ZL1 Corvette was Monaco Orange and the road racing one was a light color with a wide dark stripe down center maybe white with a blue stripe. Here is an article on the ZL1 drag car.

That white 69 ZL1 Corvette wouldn't be Kevin's by any chance?

I'm looking at a picture of the black/gold ZL1 in a book called CAMARO Three Generations of Premier Performance Cars by Martyn L. Schorr and it says that due to the 70 being late Vince Piggins built a 4 wheel disc brake equipped Camaro powered by a ZL1. The photo was taken at the GM proving grounds in June of 69. I don't know how accurate the informatio in this book is and that's why I was asking.

I have a color photo of the 10 second ZL-1 Corvette on one of my webpages. You can take a look at it here: http://www.zlx.com/Corvette/legends.htm I haven't posted a hyperlink here before so you guys might have to copy and paste it into the address section of your browser if you can't click on it. I talked with the engineer who built that car. He's a pretty neat guy! The press guys still talk about driving the 10 second quarter mile time slips 30 years later!!!
