saw a ZL1 i go to college about 20 minutes from La Harpe, IL, were Fred Gibb Chevrolet was. i went to a car show last night and Helen Gibb was there with her 2002 ZL1, Production Run #3, most beautiful SS i have ever seen, i was parked across from here and talked to her quite a bit that night, she was really nice and she even said that she wished we were somewhere else besides barracaded in the car show so that i could take it for a spin. her neighbor was there also with his 02 SS collectors edition with a GMMG phase 2 package, it was a beautiful car and sounded great.

#2 - Helens car is not a SS. It is a ZL1.
FYI, Helen's is the only automatic ZL-1 made
matt murphy has an automatic on one of his 427 ZL1s
On #3, I could be wrong. Matt could have converted his personal ZL1 to an automatic but I don't think so. I talk to him quite a bit on the telephone and he has never told me, "Oh by the way, I converted my ZL1 to an automatic".

didnt mean to offend you or anything by calling it a SS
i understand where you are coming from though, if i had a ZL1, i would want everyone to know and call it by what it really is

Im sure you guys know a little more than me so im not tryin to start anything.

saw a ZL1
Was it the lighter Green color? Don't know if they made more than 1 in that color, but the last time I saw it the car was a 6 speed.
i go to college about 20 minutes from La Harpe, IL, were Fred Gibb Chevrolet was. i went to a car show last night and Helen Gibb was there with her 2002 ZL1, Production Run #3, most beautiful SS i have ever seen

Maybe you saw the "white" solid roller Phase IV 2002 ZL1 #69 "Grumpy's Toy" tribute Camaro that Mike Carahan of GMMG used to own. This car is certainly capable of running in the 10's without a doubt.

Probably not as much as the original one that he's got

Be sure to come to the Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show the first weekend in August. You will see both 1969 ZL1's there as well as 2002 ZL1's there including my Phase II

Yes, that is the green one and thinks for telling me the color of it. My bad on the wrong transmission. When i saw the car is was not in that form though, the top half of the engine as well as the k member were lying on the ground and it had some Mickey Thompson drags on it but still was beautiful. Thats not the white ZL1 i saw. It was a Phase III white one with the hockey sticks and some chrome Z06s and i believe it was on last years power tour and had a GA plate on it. Thamks for all the pics as well as the enlightenment

This is Helen Gibb's Phase I, automatic transmission, 2002 ZL1, PRototype #3.
Nope...........below is his # 1 2002 Phase III ZL1. He requested it to be painted with graphic's just like his #1 1969 ZL1 pictured below.

Below is his original 1969 ZL1, production #1. This was the very first ZL1 Camaro produced by Chevrolet in 1969. It was immediately converted into an AHRA drag racing car and remains that way even until today.
No offense taken. Just trying to set the record straight.

Thanks for posting pictures of my old car (ZL1 #69) I miss her. She now rest in Texas in a private collection.
Someone ask if the orange will be ready I am not sure we currently are really close but we have like 5 Dick H cars we are trying get out the door. The orange will be there not sure if it will be complete.
Matt Murphys car is ZL1 number 4 and yes it is a frost green 6 spd.
Wait till you guys see the new toys we have been working on in our spare time
