Bob Dance is listed as salesman on both my 69 ZL-1 #64 Hugger Orange and also my Cortez Silver COPO 4 speed. Both sold new to Bill Turner, (Turners High Performance) of Ft Meyers FL. Both have Endura Bumpers and Rosewood steering wheels, Bob had great taste in Camaros! He will be remembered.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gifYes he did, I think he might have had a hand in these 2 coming from my lifelong hometown Cocoa,Fla. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gifIronic but I know of a mechanic that wrenched on a few of these ,he is still around and rumor has it he took a box of service records from the dealer when they shut down and has them to this day in his attic.

There are at least 2 L-72 cars from this dealer, with consecutive vins no less.
This car was open trailered from Georgia to the SCRXI. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

----Went to spring break in Ft. Lauderdale in 1966 in my 66 427 Corvette. Had a great time, but just after leaving to go back to school I broke a valve spring. Pulled the valve cover and it still had the inner spring so I limped in to Indian River Chevrolet. Had to stay an extra night, but had a young beauty with me for the ride back so that worked out well. They treated me great (the dealer and the girl,,,LOL) and we were on the road by 2 the next day.....Bill S
