Merollis had five ZL-1 Camaros #11 #24 #32 #37 #50. All were stolen, engines removed. Likely all were recovered and processed through a salvage auction as GMAC was the legal owner.

#11 is the only survivor; #24 was reported as scrapped in MA 1973. The others showed no registration as of the '80s. Could be one still exists as a race car.

there was a post about Earl Evans Chevrolet, Painesville OH , having some 1969 427 Camaros and Chevelles

this may have been a 427 Camaro that Dale Evens ran

I worked and raced for Schmidt Chevrolet in Perrysburg ,Ohio. We ordered and sold 2 Copo Camaros , 1 White and 1 Dk Green . The Green one was bought and raced by a dealer employee Tony U, the White one was bought by a friend and then sold fairly soon afterwards.It got passed around and beat to death on the street and was found as a driver with a smoking small block about 15 years ago. It is back together with a big block and wearing black paint around East Toledo. The dealer liked to order cars in with special paint and ordered a few with Cadillac Firemist paint

Joe, according to Dale, he remembers this as a dealer trade. I have many pics of this in different paint schemes.
