There were 13 Fathom Green ZL1s. 10 were ordered by and delivered to Fred Gibb Chev. The other three were ordered and sold by Scuncio in RI, Seltzer in OK and Lavery in OH. If Queen City did obtain a FG ZL1 it had to be a former Gibb Chev car. Of the FG Gibb cars 8 have known histories including their initial re-issue dealerships, Queen City not being one of them. Two do not list a re-issue dealership: #36 N612913 4-speed and #45 N618522 automatic. Entirely possible Gibb sold them. #36 still exists, #45 is in the wind.
Queen City was 10 miles from the Norwood plant. By the end of May, 37 Gibb ZL1s were back at the Norwood plant and Chevy was calling performance dealers trying to get rid of them. It isn’t hard to imagine that Queen City was contacted but to date no ZL1 Camaro has a solid history tracing back to Queen City. And why wouldn't a $7300 Camaro be listed in the January 1970 newspaper ad?
