how can you flop at something you only half-assedly attempt? they were emulating the yenkos and bergers and motions of the day, took a shot at an all aluminum, race ready car but only built how many? 69. that's not a flop. they didn't even try.
if they put their minds to it and put a ZL1 together with the 1LE package, and sell a true road race ready vehicle - that is the car enthusiasts would buy, provided that they knew about them. not a lot of people knew about the ZL1 back in '69 and those that did find out usually found out after the fact, like the COPO scheme. (afaik there are still some ZL1 re-casts left over. like one or two, maybe? they wouldn't need that many, anyway) the perceived value of those type of cars would have guys digging deep into their pockets.
if they don't advertise something, how're people supposed to know they have it available?
