Where is ZL-1 #66?

[Jim_Becker68]

This auction for me has some questions.

1. This is a horrible time of year to auction off big money items. Many people are traveling, taking time off work to be with family and just not paying a lot of attention to something like e-Bay.

2. Why put the dollars in e-Bay's pocket when it is such a tough time of year to sell????

Other things that bother me...

If I owned a ZL1 which, with it original numbers matching rear end, transmission and engine would be an ungodly amount......wouldn't you keep track of the car? A true muscle car collector would have this car no matter what condition under lock and key and all paperwork in a fireproof place.

If the car was long off the road.....why continue to register and insure the vehicle????

If crushed why are the records not available??? Surely the state of Connecticut has salvage yard laws. I know in the state of Illinois they are very strict.

Why are so many of pictures so poor???? For the amount of money that one is expecting from this auction, you would expect the photos to be crisp, clear and well lit. These on this auction are not.

If this person - voodoo (Bill) - did show up with title in hand a few years ago to lay claim to the car #66 what was the legal out come? From what others have written on this thread, law enforcement was involved. Voodoo never did say what the outcome was of that incident. We only know that he said he was not arrested.

If voodoo knows about the car being represented as the true #66, why has he not started legal procedings??? I would believe that there are many attorneys that would gladly take a 1/3 of the value of a numbers matching ZL1.

There is a whole lot of story that is in the dark on this car, engine, etc. I for one would surely not want to be in the center of this storm.

Ok, Here I am again, Yes its been 2 days, My phone # has not changed its still 1-203-754-5000. I have not yet to here from anyone. All I keep doing is giving more infromation out. Well its time for me to shut up. Why because some of the members on this site are trying to make this situation one sided. Until I or we hear from the other party I will not post anything else. I still have the special front bumper for car#66. Does anyone on this site know where car #60 is, I owned this car. I bought this car for $500 and sold it for $1500. I can help the person who owns this car now. I still know the original owner and other history of that car.

sorry, I missed it...how about a link to your "info" that you "keep giving out" does it address any of the questions posted here? It seems that many like minded auto enthusiasts are willing to help straighten out any confusion and assist you in tracking down what may be yours but you have refused to cooperate after making vague statements accompanied by blurry photos. Whats up with that?
It's borderline childish and at the least, evasive and unsportsmanlike. Why the games?

So, as I understand it, you had a wrecking yard and one of your employees sold the car with the ownership and you still have the original motor and rear end and now, you figure that the car is still out there and you want the car back? My query is, how could you be smart enough to keep the motor and rear end but not the car?

OK...Here is my current and I believe correct info on # 66. Mcgroder purchased the car from the second owner around 1988. The second owner actually traded in ZL1 # 67 on it. This was either at Huffman or somewhere in Il. There was still Huffman paperwork in the car. The car had a LT1 in it and they were told at the time the orig ZL1 engine went in a roundy round car somewhere. At the time of the Mcgroder purchase both hidden vins were checked and were the orig vins for ZL1 # 66. The current owner should and probably does have that trade in paperwork. The engine in #66 has a S or something similar to denote it as a restamp. This info comes from someone who I believe.

I don't believe the seller of the engine on Ebay ever had that car.

So how did Voodoo-Bill get a hold of the drivetrain? If this is in fact the real drivetrain.

Second, how was he able to register the car? Could it have been done through one of those title services?

He states he is giving out ALL the information.....what information???? Other than tiny little bits and pieces....

He states he is waiting to hear from the owner of the car. Due to the value of this automobile this NOT something that the owner and Voodoo-Bill need to discuss in an open forum on the internet. This is NOT something that they should discuss over the telephone. This IS something that attorneys representing both parties need to discuss. The value of the car puts it in Federal lawsuit territory and with money like that on the table that is the only place I can see this being resolved.

I don't understand why Bill is auctioning off the motor?

GLAD TO SEE SOME OF YOU ARE FINALLY BACKING ME UP!!!! THIS CAR WAS SAID TO BE AN ARIZONA CAR ITS WHOLE LIFE, NOW ITS SAID TO BE AN ILLINOIS CAR HALF ITS LIFE!!!! WHEN IS THIS CAR GOING TO COME BACK TO THE NORTH EAST AND BECOME THE RACE CAR IT WAS????
I called Desert Autosport when this car was listed by them. They had no idea who I was. They told me that #66 ZL1 that were selling was 100% original #'s matching, found sitting in a barn in Arizona its whole life, They stated this car still had the original manufacturer's statement of origin!!
Now we get a whole new story on car #66 ZL1. Now its not #'s matching, has a small block in it. Car no longer Arizona car its whole life. Car now an Illionis car half its life. This story changes every day like a soap opera.
So as I said before I never signed ownership away of Car #66 Zl1 Vin# 124379N644311.And I still have some of its original componets!!! I fell the truth will come out very soon about this car being an east coast race car like I said!!!!!!!! ( PS Can anyone tell me why I have a high bidder named desertautosport bidding on my parts on ebay ) WHY IS HE BIDDING ON THEM? SINCE HE STATED HE ALREADY HAD THEM IN A #'S MATCHING #66 ZL1 ??????????????????
