#27 ZL-1 SOLD ?????? Info/EBAY Link Please

[70 copo]

And this:

After the 1971 season, Dick took the car to a race shop to have the rear wheel wells slightly enlarged. The shop removed the entire trunk floor in error. Dick sued the race shop for damages and won. He could not race the ZL1 in this condition, so he found another body in a junkyard and pieced the car back together again.

Chuck Sharin bought the #27 ZL1 Drag Racer from Dick Tutino around 1975
Chuck Sharin contracted with Thayne Porlier to install a Roll Cage, Rear Wheel Tubs and Narrowed Differential with the understanding the STOCK OE Floor, Trunk be kept ala NHRA Modified Elim Rules. Porlier removed the STOCK Pass Floor & Trunk when he installed the new frame from Subframe to rear valance.
Chuck Sharin sued & won the law suit with Porlier....then parted out everything............
yada, yada, yada

CHUCK, If the original still has the original hidden Vin#'s. I would find that car and restore it and sue to get the original dash vin# back.

That is dirty pool. Chuck owned both cars and he is the one who transferred the VIN from one car to the other and sold the car with the VIN attached to the next guy. Finding the shell and trying to take ownership of the both cars is as slippery as selling the reVINed car as legit. Getting the two cars back together and making things right it one thing but owning one and trying to rob the other is another story.

Here's a link to the auction next Saturday night of the car in question for those interested. Looks like they gave it a prime time spot.

#27 has been a known re-body for over a decade. Neither Mecum, nor BJ have tried to hide that. If you couldn't figure out from the Mecum description what "found another body in a junkyard and pieced the racecar back together again" means then you deserve to get fleeced. This story is not news.

Super Chevy Pomona, around 1997, I'm pretty sure it's the same car Reg J had Chip selling for $75k. I remember it being green, column shift. He also had a grn Copo 4sp for $25k.

I was simply stating what could easily happen. That is why i would not touch that car with a 10ft pole. You have no protection from that happening. The original body should have been taken to the crusher. Any law enforcement will look at the hidden vins, who do you think is going to get the Vin tag.

..and won't it still have the CON Vin on the firewall?

1) The (current all RED) 69' Camaro race car in WA state, is long time owned
by JIM BRUNNS (sp?). I do not know and cant prove that he sold the VIN tag
out of my old C/SM 69 Drag car. Jim B changed the paint from my multi color\
C/SM race car to his current all Red. Jim B knows his car is made from many ZL1 pieces
The WA state drag car is the one I built from
the junk yard shell and ALL the other ZL1 bolt on pcs including front clip, doors
deck, sub frame and interior.

2) The #27 ZL1 shell butchered by Thayne Porlier (Tacoma,WA) was given by me
to John C (cant even remember correct spelling). I can possibly imagine that shell
was ever built into anything. It would be beyond my belief to think the original shell is
still laying around somewhere..........

3) IF somebody reading wants to post the 69 Camaro RED drag car as it exists today
(with VIN TAG missing/empty hole) send me an email so I can send you the pictures you can resize to fit this sites mediocre software.
