Vette(s): #1-1974 L-48 4spd Cp Med Red Metallic/Black deluxe int w/AC/tilt/tele./p/w-p/b/ Am-Fm/map light National/Regional/Chapter NCRS "Top Flight" #2-1985 Bright Red/Carmine Cp.L-98/auto Member: NCRS, NCRS Texas, Corvette Legends of Texas

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.

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.

I quiver a the thought of that machine pulling up next to me at a red light

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.
