My X44 Hugger Orange car came from Indian River. The original owner of my car told me he went there to buy a 396/375 car and was totally unaware of the 427/425 cars. The salesman told him they were out of 396/375 cars , but had these 427/425 cars in the back. He ended up buying the HO car and a friend of his ended up buying a Lemans Blue car. Purchase date of the HO car was 5/16/69. He got his first ticket on the way home from the dealership. He sold it in 74 and it was raced fairly extensively, by two brothers, in the central Florida area from 74 to 84. His friend totalled the LB car two weeks after he took delivery.
He said there were two ZL 1's there at the time he bought the car. I believe he said one was red and the other was Cortez Silver. They sold the red one, not sure if they sold the silver one, or dealer transferred it. Personally don't know of any other cars from there. I think Ed C. has 20 down for them.
