For Sale at Auction: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in Las Vegas, Nevada

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 COPO is number 27 out of 69 that were produced during the production year and was previously owned by baseball great Reggie Jackson. It has undergone a comprehensive restoration where it was returned to its original color of Fathom Green. Power comes from an all-aluminum 427ci ZL1 engine mated to an automatic transmission. Equipped with a specially ducted cool-air hood, heavy-duty radiator, heavy-duty springs and a special BE heavy-duty 4.10 posi-traction rear axle. Documented from GM and Fred Gibb Chevrolet this VIN was one of 50 purchased under Chevrolet's Central Office Production Order (COPO) to qualify the engine and transmission for NHRA competition. It was received at Fred Gibb Chevrolet on March 11, 1969, then returned to Chevrolet on May 24, 1969, for redistribution due to the excessive cost of the ZL1 option. Allan Green Chevrolet of Seattle, WA, took delivery of the Camaro in late 1969. The first owner of the car was Dick Tutino, the service manager at Allan Green Chevrolet. Dick ran in NHRA Super Stock Class and was sponsored by Allan Green Chevrolet and Boeing Airplane Company until Allan Green closed in 1970. After the 1971 season, Dick took the car to a race shop to have the rear wheel wells slightly enlarged. The shop removed the entire trunk floor in error. Since he could not race the ZL1 in this condition, he found another body and pieced the car back together again. It now features a non-OEM Trim Tag.
