69 zl1

Can someone explain this option which costs as much as the whole car? What was its purpose and have the two cars survived?

Yes, at least three of the original two cars have survived.

Here's supposedly another of the original 2. Factory documentation is missing...and that is not good.

I've heard about another one, an orange convertible?

ZL-1 is basically a all aluminum Motor built to L88 specs and may have had a more aggressive cam

The option was a good investment.

a 69 ZL-1 Corvette ,( only 2 made and sold ) is a million dollar car at least

Do a search in this forum using "zl1" there's days of reading on this motor. While all threads are not "history" there are many facts and thoughts about this historic big block.
