In the COPO connection book there is mention of 7 ZL-1's not accounted for. Does anyone know if these have now been found??

Ed,

On your registry web site there are 15 cars listed that are destroyed and one that is wrecked.

In the COPO Connection book there are 42 accounted for and 20 that have been either stolen or destroyed. and 7 that are not accounted for.

Do the ones listed as destroyed, have their VIN's recorded and couldn't be restored?? I'm curious as to how These were accounted for, as it seems all 69 ZL-1's have now been "found".

One curious ZL-1 fanatic.

In the COPO connection on this web site it shows 52 accounted for 16 destroyed and # 69 as wreaked
There seems to be a conflict on what is right

Be real careful with old race cars. There is one well-known ZL-1 that is beyond re-body; the only original part is the VIN tag. Rumors persist about others.

If #29 was wrecked and was known as a ZL-1 at the time the same thing could have happened. Have someone who knows the cars well check out the hidden VINs, body tag and other features that would reveal a re-body.

There are no copies of original docs for #29 in the book. All Gibbs cars were the same: no options other than what was required.

However most if not all of the ZL-1 paperwork from Gibb still exists. Not in my possession but if you find the car I can hook you up. Will not be cheap.
