The most "significant" Chevrolet performance car.

[Donutblue]

I would have to say the 69 ZL-1. It's significance is not only based on it's very limited production, but with it's intentionally under rated HP we need to give GM a lot of credit for creative marketing and advertising.

Jeff M, yeah, I totally was not even thinking about a 67 L88 Vette. Those are way up there. I am sure one of the Vette guys like Tim G from Texas knows of one that is way more special than the rest. I remember when I started attending Bloomington Gold 10 years ago I would get those Gold Standard Programs and read the stories about each L88 over and over. Those cars are amazing. True race cars.

By the way, was there ever any leads as to the stolen paperwork on the Estes Z28 convert? That story makes me sick when I think about it.

Not necessarily the most valuable or coveted by our group here but don't forget some of the earliest most significant performance cars in Chevrolet history were actually FRDS!.

After unloading his interests in Chevrolet to GM founder Billy Durant, Louis Chevrolet a his brothers got back to their real love...racing!.
The Chevy Bros Frontenac Motors Co. produced the very successful 'Fronty' Ford racers also making their modified heads, parts and cars available to other racers..
Sound like anyone else you know of?.

Here's a bit of an online blurb on the subject..
