Re: 1969 Zl-1 Decals

Steve,

I got the e-mail from Dwight and they sure are the "real deal" documents from CEC.Is that Paul in the pictures? I'm sure I have seen him around the Engineering Building. We never worked together, but or paths crossed. BTW what is the last item (KIT?)on the option list, I can't read it?

I would also bet that it was the "prototype" striping that Engineering put on it to evaluate said striping. It was common for Engineering to sell a Co. vehicle with that type of item left on as long as it didn't compromise fit or function.

I bet the same CEC painter painted that stripe and re-painted my 1965 Corvette are one in the same, only yours was painted as a work related item and my car was re-painted by him in 1982 as a moonlighting job. His name is Jim lashbrook. I did know Jules very well.

If that is Paul and he lived in that house, the neighborhood looks a lot like the neighborhood where the guy lived that I bought my 65 from---small world!

Hi Art,

Thank You for the information.

"kit" appears to be handwritten on the document and I don't know what it means unless it was for the "stripe kit" ?

Do you still have contact details for Jules or Jim Lashbrook?

The pictures are of Carl King and the car when he got it. Paul was his hunting buddy, and it was Paul that worked at GM.

Thank You again,

Steve

Steve,

I think Jules is taking a dirt nap and I haven't talked to Jim in years.

Re: 1969 Zl-1 Decals

Everyone: Could someone provide a discription of John Maher's ZL1, ie: Color, Options, Stripe etc. Does this mean that the "White' ZL1 is not legit since only two ZL1's were produced? Would the ZL1's Vin or engine block provide any supporting documentation of the original engine and ZL1 option?

Thanks, Rich

Both Roger Judski's and John Maher's ZL-1's are fully factory-documented; the "white" car has zero documentation.
