What's the World Record price for a gen-you-whine ZL1? Not a Reggie Jackson burnt-'n-rebuilt one or a car in it's "original" racing livery, or "rebodied" like the $400K one, but a complete-down-to-the-battery-caps-like-a-BOSS '9 garage queen numbers-match COPO 9560?

And the BOSS, done up the same way?

Part of that is "numbers". Unlike the porcine BOSS, most-if-not-ALL ZL1s were RACED...seriously raced. BOSSes? Always were, and always are, garage/trailer queens...just like yours.

ZL1s as an option @ 4,100+ 1969 Greenbacks, not profitable? You could buy an L72 Camaro for less dough than an equally-equipped SS396/375 (L78) Camaro. You could buy a crate ZL1 for mid-$3s all day long...

BOSS '9s sold for mid-$4s. A bare-bones but Deluxe interior FE donor SportsRoof (like the M-code I had...) was into the $3s. The difference from the BOSS '9 Stang and the (2) BOSS '9 Cougar (as far as installation/conversion) was 3" of battery cable...

How much less, exactly, would 3" have saved Ford/KK on the Stang conversions?? And no, my wife doesn't have THAT answer...yours might...

Check YOUR blood pressure, 9er...
