Great question!
This is from an interview [MCR Aug 2011] with Bob Lionberger, the Gibbs’ son in law and dealership employee.
“With more than 40 ZL-1s on hand, theft was a problem. In April 1969 we had our first incident. All of the ZL-1s were stored outside at the west end of the building. I’m not sure what the exact number was, but I think we had six or seven carburetors stolen off the cars as well as parts stolen out of the building. That was when Fred decided we needed a fence. It was about 10 feet high with angled barbed wire posts at the top and had a huge gate in the front. However, until the fence was completed, we had to park all 40 cars inside the shop every night and pull them back out in the morning.”
