Fascinating Finds: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette ZL1

Today’s feature from AutoHunter Cinema is just one of 2 Chevrolet Corvette ZL1s built in 1969. What made the ZL1 so special was its aluminum 427ci V8, a race engine in road clothing that was developed for the Can-Am race collection that primarily was an upgraded variation of the iron-block L88 engine. Like the L88, the ZL1 was rated at 430 gross horsepower though, with uncorked headers, it’s thought to put out 560 horse power. One demand to obtain your hands on a ZL1 Corvette was great deals of money, as the engine required an extra $4,718 in addition to the base cost of a Corvette, pretty much increasing the price of the car.
