So I decided to do some research on my own. This is Hooper’s 69 reference book.

So according to the book, in 1981 Vince Piggins and no one else remembered or knew that 69 zL-1’s were actually built.
But based on the ad, Huebner Chevrolet and everyone that read it knew the correct number in 1969? Wonder when the sales ad was made.

Something weird about this story ?

It was big news in the drag racing community when Chevy built the ZL-1 Camaros for drag racing.

50 cars were required for Super Stock racing so some thought only 50 were built.

The MOPAR racers said that 50 were not built and they protested it.

Vinnce Piggins and others had to collect info to prove the 50 car minimum was met.


I have seen other numbers in the old ads and articles

A lot of what Vinnce Piggins did was done behind the scenes

this guy selling #12 thought it was 52

52 was also used in a 1969 Speed and Supercar article
