Default Solving Mystery

Hey fellas!

This thread has really peaked my curiousity about the pic of the ZL1. I opened up the package and took a real close look at the photo.





In the background there is a fountain and a wall and a trash can. It looks to be parked on the street in front of somebod'ys house. Judging by that front wheel I say it has to be photoshopped.

They take a picture that you provide and put it directly on the card.

Now if they owner supplied a photoshopped picture then they will print that exact picture on the card.

Well I found my picture of Larry's car and he has chrome Z06's on it and NOT Cragars unless he swapped rims at some point.

You are correct. Larry has always had chrome Z06's on his ZL1 and to my knowledge, still does. That is why I said above that I thought Johnny Lightning used a little "Poetic License" in their re-creation.

The only Daytona Yellow ZL1 I can immediately think of that ever had Cragar S/S wheels on it was the #3 ZL1. Chalie Lilliard ordered it with the cast Z06 wheels and then later sold it to Patrick Jointer in Texas. After Patrick purchased it he replaced the original wheels with Cragar S/S wheels. So maybe this is Patrick's ZL1 that Johnny Lightning copied. I don't even believe Patrick owns the car anymore. I think that he sold it 6 month or so ago.

I also made the comment above that Larry's car was featured in Chevy High Performance but now that I think about it, I am wrong. Larry's car was featured in GM High Tech Performance. I think Matt Berger's ZL1 was featured in Chevy High Performance.

I didn't know Charlie had sold his car. His car didn't have the hockey stripes on it, only the hood/roof stripes and the hood said 427/600hp(after he sent it back for the upgrade).

That's correct but I believe when Patrick added the Cragar S/S wheels to it he also had the hockey stick stripe added to it too.
