Now those ZL-1's were not baldwin motion converts. Motion performance did put 427's in camaro's and chevelles and such however, until 1974 when uncle sam couldn't believe that a 454 vega was a street car, even though it had headlights and windshield wipers. The #1 ZL-1 was built by chevy and delivered to Dick Harrel, it was THE ZL-1 superstock drag car. It was also prepped somewhat by Harrel for dragracing, not a box stock camaro, but not too many parts were replaced either. The #3 ZL-1 was sold to Berger chevrolet in IL, it didn't sell for a year, too expensive. That one was box stock, and even was delivered with the wrong carb, a 780 not an 850. There is a lot of informationon the history of those camaros in "The 69 camaro reference book" which I have since it's one of my favorite cars ever.
