All 1969 ZL-1 Camaros were ordered via a regular dealer order form bearing a six-character tracking number in the upper RH corner. Gibb's 50 were NCJ016-NCJ065.
As for the small town comment...
Gibb Chevrolet La Harpe IL current population 1,141. Huffmans Chevrolet Farmington IL [ZL-1s #66 & #67] current population 2,272. Brooks Chevrolet Co. Millen GA [ZL-1 #51] current population 2,921. Brewers Chevrolet Campton KY [ZL-1 #57] current population 424.
78% of ZL-1 Camaros were delivered to dealerships in towns with a current population of less than 3,000.
Guessing that all those BOSS 429 Mustangs were not productions cars either, as Ford did not install the engines.
