Does anyone know what ever happened to the two black w/ gold stripe show car circuit zl1s?

Current thinking indicates there was just one; subtle changes were made over time.

There was a ZL-1 website that had a posting of the internal Chevrolet request from Styling to the Norwood Plant for ONE 1969 Camaro to be developed as the ZL-1 show car. The second page listing the build configuration was not attached. Document was dated March or April 1969.

Dunno about the car(s)...but I have one of the ZL-1 prototype blocks that went in it.

A post about this car goes up about once every 3 months.

I'd like to hear a whole lot more about this block

If this block is from Vince's ZL-1, where's the rest of the car?

Does anyone have any vintage photos of that car?
