Charley's old mount....

[Charley Lillard]

That was my first ZL1. Mike Ryan had taken it part way apart to redo it because he said the Camaro club had done a horrible job on it. When I did my deal with him he said it was ready for paint and re assembly. He said the jambs were already painted etc. I traded my restored Silver COPO, the 1970 Hurst Sunshine Special, a Lemans Blue RS JL8 Z28 and money. When he delivered it all the paint he had put on the jambs etc had "blushed". A painter explained he had used wrong reducers or something like that. The paint had a milky look. He had not even bothered to remove all the old weatherstrip glue etc. Shame on me for not going up to look at the car first. I put a car cover on it and pushed it under the mezzanine for storage. I don't have any digital pics so I'm guessing it was before I had a digital camera. I'm not sure I would have even been able to spot a fake tag back then. Later Bowman bought it and sent it to Tinnell for restoration.
