Cool

Wow, I was actually all over that car a couple years ago, it was inside the GMMG shop when my Firehawk was getting a dyno tune after hours.

Here it is in front a of monster stack of Brand New C5R blocks!!

Here is a couple of pictures that I took of it in 2005 at the Fred Gibb Show in La Harpe, IL (Actually...............these two pictures were taken the day before the show at the Cruise Night in Macomb, IL )

Bill Porterfield owned it at the time. I am pretty sure that he sold it a year or so ago and no longer owns it.

Correct J.D,as you know Bill also owned the first customer GMMG ZL1,does he still have that car?

Just for clarification the first gen camaro pic from GMMG is Matt's 68 DH funny car,not BP's 69 ZL1

As far as I know........................Bill still has the #1 Phase III GMMG ZL1 Supercar that was painted and decal-ed to match his 1969 ZL1 when he owned it.

I wonder what the "4 or 5 other GMMG cars" are??

Those are some neat pics. Keep them coming if anyone has a few more.

I was at a Fred Gibb Show several years ago. Bill had both ZL1's together.

I don't have a pick of both of them. But this was one of the displays they had.
