The photo is from a show at WI State Fair Park, maybe 1978 or so. First time I saw it [1979] the original black vinyl top was still on it. Bud Jack removed it when he painted it.

Dale also had an orange JL8 Z/28 with orange houndstooth. Had style trim but not an RS. I briefly owned it late '70s. Everyone around here knew it because it had 8" Corvette wheels painted white. Sold it to a guy from FL; delivered it to his in-laws in the Chicago area.

I owned another orange/orange Z/28 from Dale 1975-1977. Late production [09C] X77 car.

Bears repeating: Dale Chevrolet in Waukesha WI was some hi-performance dealership back in the day. IMHO, right up there with Nickey, Scuncio, Berger. L72 & ZL1 COPOs, JL8 Z/28s, Corvettes, 427 conversions, house race cars. A Dale COPO is on the docket at Mecum FL this month.

I agree,I came across a few Dale Chevrolet dealership items in the past.
I tried to buy the entire lot,but the seller was blown away by how much he was offered to end the auction & sell outright....He did. :(
I think I know who bought them though,and it made sense.

Why no black top in the dealer pic?

Great info, William!

Thanks Bruce!

I always look for you & gang when we visit Pavilions during auction week. I look forward to your photos all year!

Leaving next Wednesday-are you going?

Bill

I think whatever cond the interior is in also counts alot toward the value,how much of it is orig?That is very hard color to match with repo stuff..

I think most of it is original and pretty nice .

Thats what i like to here......is it gonna be forsale?

Possibly
