Had to buy this the other day.
The story is that it was raced in CA but not sure by who, obviously it had a small failure as seen. Local guy in MN was selling on Craigslist for trade or cash. I picked it up for a very fair deal.

A nice paper weight. What a shame. A definite failure. NICK L72

It's actually a can am ZL1 block 326711 I'm going to dress it up as it would have looked and leave it in the corner of the garage. It will be a nice winter project.

It would look nice as a glass-topped table base.

I dunno, cylinder deactivation might work

,
or build a Sesco style inline four out of it.

Besides the COPO Camaros, didn't the Chaparrals or McLarens use those engines? Maybe I'm thinking of the special 494 that Chevy built for competition.

Pardon me for being late to this discussion. I've been AWOL.

These pages from a very old "CARS Magazine" may prove interesting.
