Re: ZL 1's stolen from detroit dealer metrollis
 

A simple photo from the Jefferson swap meet guy would be suffice. It's not like an inside shot of a rail road car is going to send the automotive hunters into a frenzy, right [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: resto4u</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I was talking with a guy at jefferson swap meet. He told me that those cars are sitting in detroit inside a rail road car, and claims to seen them. He said that no one will touch them, because as soon as you touch them the insurance would take ownership. Has anyone ever heard this folk lore ? </div></div>

Haven't at least two of the blocks surfaced including one within the last couple years?
Ricks comment makes the most sense regarding the rail car story.

Did the guy at the swap meet answer to Motown Madman, he's bound to know where they are? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I'm not up to speed on this story/topic. Please enlighten me.

Re: ZL 1's stolen from detroit dealer metrollis
 

In 1969, 5 ZL1 Camaros were stolen off the lot at Merollis Chevrolet, never recovered. It was either an insurance scam as the dealership realized they'd never sell them at 7 grand+ each or it was real chop shop stuff with thieves looking to cash in on the expensive drivetrain - the story varies. As mentioned above, I believe a couple of engines have surfaced

Re: ZL 1's stolen from detroit dealer metrollis
 

A key part of the story is some scammers registered the stolen VINs a few years back and have Ontario Canada titles for them but no cars...yet???

IMO those cars were gutted then crushed 45 years ago when I was a baby.
