Where is ZL-1 #66?

[Belair62]

So...your ad stated you didn't know if this car was stolen or crushed. Now you are 95% sure it was crushed. You are not interested in getting the car back (if you actually owned it which I don't think anyone here can be sure of based on what you have shown). So I guess the question needs to be asked...are you bringing this to light so the truth about the car is known...kind of a public service deal for the satisfaction of helping the hobby or ?

Aarrgh! I can't stand it! If I owned a ZL1 and still had the drivetrain AND the car was "gone" AND I had the slightest flicker of hope that it still existed, I'd gather all the kings horses and men and turn over every rock! If this VIN is known on a car in a specific state, let alone a specific owner, you could have a current registration in hours or days just using the internet!! Furthermore, it would seem to me to be pretty easy to instigate an official investigation (as mentioned previously), pronto!

Why wouldn't you do this, especially if you were the bonafide owner?????

Exactly. If you are the owner and know where the car is then go take care of business. Seems simple to me, cut and dry, unless of course your not.

You all have to give this guy a break it might cost a couple <2> thousand dollars for plane fair ect to track down this car and if you found it the finished # matching car say the body is still usable after restoration is only worth say $ 750 thousand doesnt really sound like a good deal to me

I cannot believe the attitude of some members here. Why not expose a fake, if that’s what it is? After reading some of the posts it’s clear that some sYc members are upset and angry at Bill for exposing this car in public. I ask why? Bill is only trying to get to the truth of the matter by exposing his situation in public, and I commend him for that. Bill has stated that he contacted the dealer in Arizona and they blew him off. Bill has stated that he feels 95% sure the car was crushed, so why is there a car 66? I know one this is sure, if ZL-1 #66 is up for sale I’m going to approach it with caution, what about the rest of you? THANKS Bill!! Correct me if I’m wrong, if any sYc member doesn’t think that exposing a FAKE ZL-1 on this site is important and relevant then I can only assume that you embrace the fraud and deceit that is prevalent in this hobby?

Too many details missing to draw any conclusions. I think everyone is interested in exposing fakes, but short of bonafide proof, then most would take a cautious approach before passing judgement on either party. I am waiting to see "the river card".

Rick,

The issue with this is how it's being done. Why so much melodrama here?

IF this person is telling the truth...then he needs to lay it ALL out on the table with no BS-start to finish.

Like Charley said...stick to the FACTS...not "I heard this from..."

I cant imagine anyone on this site not wanting to expose a fake. so far nothing has been exposed, no fake car, no real car. I dont see anyone angry here, just many concerned enthusiasts that are trying to keep our hobby honest.
I dont how it would be even remotely possible for someone to fake a ZL1 that just happens to have the same picked out of a hat VIN as a ZL1 that was sitting in a junk yard or crushed or stolen unless they had that car or knowledge of it or its tags.
If I saw my missing car for sale or was told by a reliable source that it existed and was for sale you can bet your rear end I'd be there with my old photos, registration stubs, bill of sale, insurance cards and the freakin police. And that is for my 66 caprice that would only be worth about 10 grand if it has been garaged since it went missing 20 years ago.
so cut the crap and lay out the facts!!

JMHO
