Is that the tank sticker for the orange ZL-1 with the Gulf Research stickers from around the Pittsburgh area?

the Orange ZL-1 was around for many years with some racing history then was restored and sold for over $3M

In the articles about the cars history, it was said to be certified as a ZL-1

Thanks Joe. I saw that car at a few car shows in Pittsburgh when I lived there. Such a cool Corvette and the guy did seem genuine about the provenance of it.

----One year at Corvette Carlisle the owner had aa room at our hotel and we talked quite a bit. He was a really nice guy and very accomodating to all my questions. I have never thought for a moment that the car wasn't what it was purported to be!....Bill S

07/69 Salt Lake City Utah Ad w/ 50 built noted.
Would this be Craig Cazier’s ZL-1 campaigned as ‘Action West’?

here is a ZL-1 article where Dick Harrell said 52 cars built

Someone may have told him 52 early on

The 52 number was used in some ads
