The March, 2006 issue of Corvette Fever has an article on the second, documented 1969 ZL1!! It has a pic of the orig. tank sticker, and other documentation to prove, for good(?), the existance of this elusive 'Vette.
What's cool, tho, is I have SEEN/TOUCHED this Vette, more than once!! Never knew it was "THE" missing ZL1!!
                                                        

I'z checked the CFev. web-site......nothing there on the ZL1, yet. Adams' Apple38732.3791898148

I got this issue yesterday also. I have not read the article yet but that would be an awesome ride. Love the paint job on it.

The artice was awesome!! The sticker on the console demanding rocket fuel is also equally intimidating

The car Mark's link goes to was feature in VETTE magazine's November 2003 magazine. It is a totally awesome car. I doubt that the picture's can do the car justice.
The newest find isn't really a find it hasn't been in hiding but was simply tucked away for another race day. I thought one of the coolest things was the special ordered automatic tranny. Not to mention the plan in bringing it back out was to show & race some more.

Has nobody even noticed that this car belongs to one of us?!!
This ZL-1 belongs to John73!!!
Does no-one look at their C3VR calenders? (Sept 06)
Well, congrats, John, on the feature in Corvette Fever!! The mystery is solved!!

You do all know that the owner of this car is a C3VR Member, right?

Congrats, John, on being in the magazine!!

Oh, and he's also featured in the month of September in the 2006 C3VR Member Calendar!

I'm hoping the next C3VR member that gets featured is able to mention in the article that they belong to C3VR.

A '70 with round turn sigs? 4 "gills" in the fender? No flared out fenders on the bottom edges?
You may need to turn in your "Shark" card! (jes kiddin!! )
It's the real deal.

Don't EVEN feel bad Michael. Most of us don't posses the expertise to tell each year apart Confused( even when we're looking at the right carLOL). I'm certainly a long way from it Unhappy. aceinthehole2007-07-22 14:06:42
