ZL1 or Iron car sold at Nurse motors Canada?

[Keith Tedford]

I don't recall a Nurse ZL1 but they did sell one red COPO 427 425hp Camaro. As with the Z/28s that they sold, it was pretty basic. I got a $700 better deal buying our Chevelle through Beare Motors. The Chevelle was pretty dressy looking beside the bare bones Camaro. The Camaro was written off early in its life on Taunton Road just north of the Airport. Believe me, I looked at both cars quite a few times before deciding to buy. If I had ever known then what I know now...... Bill Nurse was/is the original owner of the dealership. He was a Peterborough boy. I don't know how much old information these places keep, but some money in the right hand might give a guy a big incentive to look pretty hard. I know that they always seemed to have a Z/28 on the lot in '69. They even set one up with the cross ram setup, track cam and radial tires. It was expensive and LAZY. I was allowed to test drive it.
