Reads like the car had some front-end damage..

That ad brings back memories for sure

Eddie, If you don't mind . . . I would like to hear more about how you learned about the ZL-1's in 1976 and what was your brothers first reaction when you asked him to drive the 6,000 miles to pick-up your new car? What a great story!

Not many people have a great story like that and still be the owner for over 30 years.

I agree Rich, and get this, Eddie says "Had my heart racing when I saw the title".
He sill has the passion and rightly so for this ZL-1.

EDDIE TELL US MORE . . .

My brother and I were at the shop and he was looking through the hot cars mag that you see the ad in and he tells me hey here's a camaro like mine(he had a 69 ss L78 m22 camaro)I looked at the ad and wondered where it was so I went to the house and got my sister inlaw to call the number she told me it was in New york I went back out and told my brother heck its in New York he says so! I says you mean you'd go with me to get it? he says yeah if nobody else will go I'll go so after a few more calls out east we came to a price and I can't remember the price exactly I want to say it was $5900 all I really remember is when we got back there he says for $800 more he would give us a bill of sale for less cause of taxes in calif when we went to register it and we agreed to it but he had to trust us to send the money when we got back cause we didn't have it with us.I know it might be hard to understand but it was all a blur to me I sure do wish I would have wrote everything down back then but $6800 seems to be what it ended up costing.
Me being 18 and my brother 28 and already been pretty much all over the country by then it was me that was surprised that he would go
