Today’s AutoHunter Cinema feature is one of two Chevrolet Corvette ZL1s built in 1969. What made the ZL1 so special was its aluminum 427ci V8, a race engine in street clothes that was developed for the CanAm race series. Basically an updated version of the ironblock L88 427, the ZL1 also was rated at 430 gross horsepower though, with uncorked headers, it’s thought to put out 560 horsepower or more. One requirement to get your hands on a ZL1 Corvette was lots of money, as the engine required an additional $4,718 on top of the base price of a Corvette, pretty much doubling the cost of the vehicle. This particular 1969 Corvette ZL1 is a Monaco Orange convertible featuring a TH400 automatic transmission.
