Re: Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion
From what I have read here Barnhart is the original owner of his ZL1, and that is AWESOME! Can anyone share his history with the ZL1? I can't tell if it is red or Hugger Orange by the pics. Was his car known in the race world back then? Did he ever blow up the original motor? What gave him the foresight to keep such a special car after all thoes years? Any feedback would be appreicated.

Re: Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion
I think Barnhart is the only orig. owner of a ZL1 and I think he won a Championship back in 70-71 ? It is a Orange 4 speed that used to run 9.20's. Now, just playing around he is running 10.80's. He has the orig. engine at home. lifts the front wheels pretty well. Don't loan him your car though.

Re: Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion
Frank,
He purchased the car new from Fred Gibb Chevrolet for something like $7,200.00 which was quite a sum back then. He is quite a local legend in the Western Suburbs/ Chicago land. I used to hear stories about him and the car running at Union Grove,Wisconsin, on a regular basis, way before I could even drive. It was great to see them at the reunion.
