In 1969, Chevy performance guru Vince Piggins took direct aim at NHRA’s Super Stock and Pro Stock classes. His weapon of choice was the all-aluminum; big-block powered ZL-1 Camaro. Sixty-nine cars were built, four of which were finished in Dover White. This is production number 53, the only Dover White ZL-1 equipped with the M22 “Rock Crusher” 4-speed.
The car was titled only once—to COPO guru Ed Cunneen. It was raced in NHRA Pro Stock in 1969-70 and was an NHRA record holder. It has also been in the collections of Floyd Garrett and Robert Lyle. Restored by Floyd Garrett at his famous museum, the car is correctly finished throughout, including a correct ZL-1 replacement block, Cowl Induction hood, heavy duty 4-core radiator with curved neck, transistorized ignition, 4.10 Positraction rear end and chambered exhaust. It runs and drives as new—and remains one of the most thrilling machines ever produced by Chevrolet.
