just for grins, here are some pics of the Catalina 2+2 421HO 4 speed.
this would have been in the winter of late 1983 or early 1984 because my dually was new in this pic. dang I was a young guy back then. the day before I had cut all the emblems out of it and removed the 8 lug drums and rear end. |

So what is the consensus now on number of ZL1 Vette's?
1 Yellow (Rogers) 1 White (Chestaky) 1 Orange (GULF car) 1 Blue now (Larry Cain mentioned) That's 4. +1 Duntov's White car that was supposed to be trashed. +1 That Muscle Collector posted about in post #33 that was crashed. So that would be 6 of the mentioned 7 duskblue mentions in post #13. So I was wondering, maybe some of these cars were NOT supposed to leave GM and go to the crusher? Like Dontov's car.

Sorry Gary, I thought in the post #33 that the body was thrashed and therefore gone, and that's how you got the motor? If so, my mistake.
Just trying to find out as much as I can about these cars. I'm involved with a shop in Ontario and were getting a rece deal going where rules (which are NOT finalized yet) will be fairly open, but MUST use factory STEEL wheels and MUST use dual plane intake. I have a nice set-up now with my '69 Nova and the ZL-1 in it. But would like to get a nice '69 Vette roller and do a "cloned" '69 ZL-1 Vette. Interior color will end up dictating the outside color, but if I have a choice I would go gold with tan interior. It would get the black strip like Roger's yellow ZL-1, but add the Motion style black around the back and down the center to the hood. Looking for a A/SA or even older SS chassis.

ok I might be getting confused, sorry, I thought you were talking about ones built new. yes the one I got the engine out of was destroyed. what I was saying was it has to be the one larry was talking about being sold here or being here in tulsa back when new or fairly new. sorry if I got things twisted on that.
