1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO ZL1 COPO

This 1969 ZL1 Camaro is car #27 and was previously owned by baseball great Reggie Jackson. It was received at Fred Gibb Chevrolet on March 11 1969 and was returned to Chevrolet on May 24 1969 for redistribution due to the excessive cost of the ZL1 option. Allan Green Chevrolet of Seattle WA took delivery of the Camaro in late 1969. The first owner of the car was Dick Tutino the service manager at Allan Green Chevrolet. Dick ran in NHRA Super Stock Class and was sponsored by Allan Green Chevrolet and Boeing Airplane Company until Allan Green closed in 1970. After the 1971 season Dick took the car to a race shop to have the rear wheel wells slightly enlarged. The shop removed the entire trunk floor in error. Dick sued the race shop for damages and won. He could not race the ZL1 in this condition so he found another body and pieced the car back together again. It has been returned to its original color of Fathom Green.
