Well from some old posts didn’t believe the Orange ZL1 was not real! So that means someone just might have spent 3.140 million on a fake? Just saying!

For a bit of light reading: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1606208514
(It's only 7+ years old and just up to post #600.)

There are certainly strong opinions on the car not being a factory ZL-1, but there is nothing indisputable that says is actually is not.

Bottom line being that unless some higher authority (like GM official records) says one way or another, the car will have this controversy surrounding it. The buyer was obviously willing (and financially able) to take a gamble on the car.

You and everyone else are just saying. Wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened. It’s happened before in the vintage sports racing car community. Bugatti’s have been faked. They even make “repro” Ferrari GTO’s out of Ferrari 330 series cars (chassis is the same length at 2400mm) and known repros sold for over the million dollar mark decades ago, if done right. Original ones are over 20 mil. So what does that say? It was only a matter of time before Corvette prices hit the 7 figure mark. Fraud follows the money. Just saying!

At the very least it’s an L-88 with race history and maybe a ZL1.

Welcome to the party.
