1969 ZL1 Vette?

[EZ Nova]

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.

Some guy Eubanks has apparently had this in his 100+ car collection for decades in North Carolina. Saw a Hagerty video today with Tom Cotter and while the camera passed over it, Cotter never even acknowledged its presence....makes me wonder, L88 or....

----My 69 435hp Corvette, bought new from Ed Stinn in Cleveland, had a factory L88 hood installed within weeks of the purchase date. I had to trim the air cleaner hole in the bottom for clearance of the triangular air cleaner...….Bill S

Hello Tracker1,
The shark body Corvette photo.
The hood is not typical factory production L-88. (too high)
The front driver side marker light is used with a 1970-1972 model.
The photo is NOT a 1968 or 1969 convertible.
Regards,
Drew Papsun

Yes, I think you're right Drew. I believe you mean passenger side turn signal, in the grille?

Hello Tracker1,
Yes, The side turn signal light.
The 68-69 light is shorter and the 70-72 is longer.
The photo is to dark to see the grill light.

John Mahler was certainly "in the know" - to say the least - when he ordered that ZL1, if this is the same John Mahler who piloted the Owens-Corning L88:

Where is this car? Has it been located? It was also at the 1970 Press Event with the LT1 Corvette etc. IT is a 68 Body with Stingray emblems and no antenna with Head rest seats.
