Joe

You are correct about this particular Corvette being used in 1970 also. Based on what I have read (as always, I defer to Stan and his knowledge) although it was ZL1 equipped in 69, it returned with a LT2 power plant in 70. The LT2 being an all aluminum 454 which we all know didn't make the final RPO cut. Also, thank you for posting the PIC.

Regards,

Mark

here is Mark's picture of Bob Clift (Chevy PR in 1969)
There was a great article on the ZL1 factory drag car in a 69 magazine MT or RT. Article was called "The 10 sec trip". As you guys said it was extensivly modified. I wonder if they used the Can Am block instead of the ZL1 block. You can see in the picture that the intake manifold had a large flange welded on for a huge Holley carb that was a prototype at that time.
Since it was shown at a press preview, I would think there would be more articles/pictures on that press preview day but I have only found a few articles. Also shown at the 1970 Press preview held in summer '69 was the '70 Yenko Duece Nova prototype which they called a LT1 Nova and the "street" version of the ZL1 Camaro (in '69 body).

In case you are wondering, Clift is the skinny guy with hair.
