Dick also did extensive research on the design, engineering, and development of the ZL-1 all aluminum 427 engine, later to be placed in what is now known as the ZL-1 Camaro.

(had to "peek" for that one.....)

Re: '02 Camaros- No, those were built by GMMG/Matt Murphy(I think...). Actually, Dick Harrell died in 1971 at a drag strip outside Toronto (Georgetown, actually) in a Funny Car accident when a front tire let go at the "Big End"...which, unfortunately, WAS his big end...

Dick, through a small Chev dealer in LaHarpe IL by the name of Fred Gibb, solicited Vince Piggins (Chevrolet Product Promotion) to authorize a Central Office Production Order (coded #9560) for 50 '69 Camaros with all-aluminum 427s from the Corvette. Those cars became known as "ZL1"s (after the Corvette option code for that-there screamin' engine), 19 others were ordered by other dealers...and a BUNCH were returned by Gibb to Chevrolet when the invoices showed up with an option price that was about 150% of a Base Camaro's price! $4,130 was a HUGE amount of money...for an ENGINE Package...in 1969!!!
