Black ZL-1 concept car

[ZLP955]

Great thread. Interesting to see the car at the top of this thread (plate MC6588) has the rear stripes painted as though dealer-applied, rather than by Fisher, i.e. extending to the trunk lid edge.

Sure would have sold me -

Until you saw the price. ZL1 was $4000 for the engine, plus all the options on this car. And detuned.

Yes, quite pricey. IF I'm correct, didn't the ZL-1 Camaros retail over $7,000? Thats more than a Corvette sold for in 1969.

Yep. Money was also the reason why I passed on the GT500KR green convertible for sale in the parking lot of my apartment building (he asked $8500.00, took two weeks to sell). Also the '69 Z with crossram 7 years earlier for $2400.00 (when it was 2 years old). Heck, my X77 set me back $1600.00 - thought I was going to Debtors Prison.

In the Milford picture is the radiator not a curved neck?  Also I noticed the "B" paint stamp on the firewall.  Does this mean it was painted at the Fisher plant?

The ZL1 show car was ordered as an L78 automatic with 3.55 axle. HD cooling was included with 3.73 & 4.10 axle ratios at extra cost. Most BB 4 core radiators have the curved upper neck, a few did not. The car was painted in production at Norwood.

Looks like someone is checking for the correct dip stick.

I noticed some writing by by the radiator cap.  Looks like 27-69.  It's hard to believe this car isn't in a GM museum with all the press it got at the time.  When I 1st saw the photo of it in Michael Lamm's book "The Great Camaro" I was floored by it.
