I use them. I drove my numbered 7 (number 0822 of the last 1500 ever made) hard for 7 years, and I'm driving this numbered ZL1 (325 of 375 converted by HSV) hard 7000 hard kilometers in just over 6 weeks (almost 7 weeks). And the performance on that 69 is going to suck compared to my 19 ZL1. The only thing I like about it is it's simplicity. Can you even get points for her? How about a timing light? That might even be harder. I haven't seen a timing light in 30 years, LOL.
It’s piece of Americana. A symbol of a bygone era.

Would I spend that kind of money for one? Nope. About 20yrs ago I had a chance to buy one for $60K. Not nearly as documented as this one, but it was a real deal ZL1.

I agree I would be so tempted to drive it. If I had that kind of money I probably would. LOL.

Yes, you can still buy timing lights at the parts store.
