the list price was $7227, so do the math and figure out if it is the automatic or one of the 4 speeds ...

I grew up with the #25 car nearby while I was a youngster.I still know the owner from back then. The car was sold for around 70K with the wrong motor, mini-tubs and lightning rod shifter... in the early 90's I believe...by early 90's the ZL-1's were already out of sight pricewise..restored cars going for 100k if my memory serves me...a nice increase in value from a car that they had a real hard time selling....and I thought 100k was just outrageous back then..
