Actually, the Corvette ZL1 option was in the generally-circulated Vehicle Order Guide...
any Chev dealer wishing to could have ordered one...
RPO (Regular Production Option) Code = ZL1, just like the quite RARE L88s...both engines were smog-approved and validated for Production. Even in California. Without a heater/defroster or radio, very few folks chose to...
Can a mass-produced vehicle be "rare"? Of course the answer is yes.
