They typically made "pilot cars" for every model and powertrain combination ever produced. I think you may be asking "has it turned up/is it still in existence?". K

Let me revisit my answer:
For what model year? Are you talking '69? In that case they made the Proving Ground Mule car, and then the small run of production cars (one or two or whatever the agreed upon number is now). K

This is a pad from what may have been an experimental ZL1 Corvette Automatic. The MG is the build code for Corvette only automatic transmission. There are remnants of a VIN on the other side of the pad. We're trying to figure out the origin of this block and what it may have been installed in.

FWIW Chevrolet Engineering docs indicate they rebuilt one of the L-88/aluminum cylinder case development engines [ZL-1 option did not exist at the time] re-configured "...for "F" Car Installation." Date is August 19, 1968. The VIN[listed elsewhere] indicated an early production 1969 Camaro. It was not the black and gold show car, built late March at Norwood.

The Green Pilot LS6 Chevelle had this marking on the driver's side cylinder head.

Sounds like a possible fit other than stick, where was the block when found?   ~ Pete .

Pete, would that be the press release ZL1? The block was found in Arizona. It is being rebuilt now as a complete engine. Great add.
