Any list of where '69 Camaro ZL-1s are?

Welcome to the site Allison.

I would speculate that the car your father owned was most likely one of the first 50, and probably one of the ones that was sent back to GM by Fred Gibb Chev. The additional 19 ZL1's appear to have been specifically ordered by their selling dealers, as opposed to 'fleet' ordered like the Gibb cars.

Using this speculation would narrow down the possibles from 12 to 10 by eliminating car #'s 60 & 65.

It would help if you could tell us if your father's car was an automatic vs. a 4 speed, this way we could narrow it down to 1 of 4 a/t's vs. 1 of 6 4 speeds.

It was a 4 speed, not an automatic.

So, I guess that means that it is possibly the #36? I saw a thread on it and sent the owner a message to see if he knows any of the history on the car.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

#36 Would be my guess.

I found out last night that he actually was one of the ones that purchased the car in 1970. Does this still go along with #36?

I'm not sure what you mean with this question. I don't know very much about the history of #36, but since it's a FG, 4sp car originally from Gibb - it has a higher probability of being dealer transferred to another dealer.

I'm just guessing it was one of the ones that did not sell in 69... Didn't they have a hard time selling them at first? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that about 30 unsold cars were returned to Chevy and it took until the early 70s to sell them off.
