Default Is this a real 1969 Camaro ZL-1?

I am referring to the green Camaro shown in the link.

Also, isn't the ZL-1 motor based on the racing Corvette L88 motor except for aluminum heads?

I mean, it has a COPO license plate which would be lame to put on a non-COPO Chevy especially at a Barrett-Jackson auction.

The link doesn't work, but there certainly were 427 CID Camaro's cranked out of the Norwood assembly plant with the Z/28 cowl induction hood, no badging, and painted wheels with baby moon hubcaps. I knew some guys who worked at the plant and ordered those cars for themselves. One of them was orange and the other was yellow. They looked like plain jane 6-bangers except for the hood and 60 series tires.

I'm pretty sure that is the same camaro that went for almost $900,000 on ebay not too long ago, but did not meet the reserve!

yes there were 427's COPOs in 1969 but only 69 were made with the all aluminum 427 which were ZL1's. the other non aluminum 427's were not ZL1's
