Can anyone tell me what they know about a "Zone Car"?

I am looking at a '66 442 that the owner says his father purchased as a Zone Car. The father was a GM employee at the time. Supposedly, they are a unique animal setup more for the track. They were not available to the public and had unusual VIN numbers. They were assembled per a build sheet and shipped without testing. This car didn't even run and the headlights were not working when it arrived. The car hasn't been registered in a while due to the hassle with the VIN number and lack of smog equipment, etc.

In any case, does this "Zone Car" description ring a bell with anyone?
